	Definition of Baseball statistics
		Traditionally, statistics like batting average for batters (the number of hits divided by the number of at bats) and earned run average (approximately the number of runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings) have governed the statistical world of baseball.
		It combines the hitter's on base percentage (hits plus walks plus times hit by pitches divided by plate appearances) with their slugging percentage (total bases divided by at bats).
		Walks plus hits per inning pitched (or WHIP) gives a good representation of a pitcher's abilities; it is calculated exactly as its name suggests.

	Kerry's Calculus
		Ainsworth is throwing 17.9 pitches per inning, Riley's at 19.7, Bedard 22.8 and DuBose 16.6.
		But, obviously, these kinds of pitch per inning averages make even six inning starts a stretch (in Bedard's case, five innings would be a stretch).
		Overall, it would seem that the majority of pitchers good enough to be given the opportunity to throw 140 or more innings at age 24-25 despite extremely high walk rates are good enough, in fact, to improve their control, even if they aren't completely able to overcome the walk bugaboo.

		Nine of those times, the Dodgers have made it to the next round - but the earliest they have clinched was three weeks into the month, with 11 games to spare.
		Meanwhile, racking up 27 strikeouts against five walks and 22 hits in 28 1/3 innings since returning to Los Angeles, with a 0.95 ERA and only two inherited runners allowed to score, Carrara is finally starting to convince me that he can be counted on.
		As for a dropoff in Gagne's second inning of work, that's certainly possible, depending especially on how difficult his first inning is. But the uncertainty of the dropoff is no worse than the uncertainty the Dodgers face when they bring in Dreifort.

		His walk rate since 2002 is a reasonable 2.77 per nine innings, and he doesn't usually give up too many home runs, though last year he served up 28 dingers.
		His strikeout rate is a little low and walk rate a little high to project him as a star, but at 25 years old, he could still be a good major league pitcher.
		Probably the most important thing that he did was that he lowered his walk rate by almost a full walk per 9 IP over his previous four seasons.

		Lieberâs ability to avoid walking batters will come in handy, and you also have to assume that heâll do better than what he did with the Yankees because he wonât be seeing a DH in the NL.
		He had logged the innings at second base to qualify, he would have led NL second basemen in fielding percentage and would have been second in range factor.
		If he can improve on his slugging percentage and draw walks with the consistency he did at Scranton, Utley could be a deadly bat in the lower-middle of the Phillies lineup.
