How important is the lefty righty thing? I just got Madison Bumgarner who had great stats (7-9-8), but he's a lefty. My other 2 lowest pitchers are Wainright (5-8-8)R and Danny Duffy (4-3-9)R. Does Bumgarner not cut into the rotation because he's a lefty?
I also disagree with Matt Harvey's new ratings (6-7-8)... How can he be a 6 in arm when he is #2 out of all starting pitchers with average fastball velocity (96.0 mph). Yu Darvish's fastball averaged 92.5 mph in 2014, the year that these ratings are based on, and he has a 9 arm. ... Just a sad* Met fan's point of view…
Ok, got a new pitcher, Alex Wood. Duffy again (4-3-9) R, or Alex Wood (7-6-8) L. Do lefties get pounded? Duffy's numbers are pretty good... and I'd prefer Wacha (6-6-8) R to both Duffy and Wood. Thanks!
