Diamonds in the Rough: Ten Valuable Unknown Pitchers

[HechticSooner]

Let us not forget Joe Smith the sidey who was dealt from the Mets in the Putz pickup. That kid is going to be something special next year watch and see.

He's a big boy. If he didn't want to receive any criticism he would have kept it to himself.

This is suppose to be unknown pitchers right?

People throwing out names like Joba, Danks, Floyd............those guys are pretty well known.


Joe Smith...the guy the Mets just traded would be the one that comes to my mind.

It's not a bad list, but I would think you'd use stats like BAA,K/9, BB/9, etc when looking at relievers.

and LOL at someone mentioning Joba. Hardly an unknown. He's one of the biggest hyped young pitchers in all of baseball.

other very important stats for relievers...inherited baserunners that score and holds...

The "hold" might be the most worthless stat in existence.

do you feel the same about saves then?

They are basically the same thing...just in different innings.
