Advanced Search Hints
ERA + WHIP + BABIP- + FIP- = find pitchers who had great ERA and WHIP numbers, but who were hit often, suggesting positive results may be more luck than skill
WHIP + FIP + ERA- = find pitchers who gave up few hits and walks, but who somehow suffered from a bad ERA, suggesting that we could see substantial improvement
K/9 + K/BB + HR/9 = find pitchers with stellar control, who strikeout batters more than they walk them and who allow fewer homeruns; this is the "LIMA Plan" formula by Ron Shandler (low investment mound aces)
WHIP + FIP + ERA- + BABIP- + LOB%- = find pitchers who gave up few hits and walks and who suffered from a ton of bad luck that led to a bad ERA, suggesting that we could see substantial improvement
BABIP + LOB% + ERA + W + FIP- = find pitchers who appear to be pretty solid based on wins and ERA figures, but who enjoyed such success because of luck... meaning they just might crash and burn next year
