BA Player Finder

[T2E]

BA has finally updated their player search. It includes GB/FB!!! for pitchers among other things. Very, very nice feature.

Notable prospect GB/FB:

 

Gallagher 1.04

Marshall 1.67

Hill .92

Pawelek 1.54

Pinto 1.74

Nolasco 1.01

Marmol .94

Billek .77

Ryu 1.22

Petrick 2.00

Aardsma 1.44

Johnson 1.37

Weber 1.26

Van Buren 1.13

Veal 1.03

Leicester 1.39

Brownlie 1.21

 

Notes:

 

- I hoped Gallagher would post a better GB/FB ratio. It's not bad but I wonder if he might have some problems w/the HR ball as he moves up. Combined with his .261 BABIP I expect his numbers to take a dip next year.

 

- Will Hill ever be able to overcome his HR problems?

 

- I hoped Nolasco, Billek and Marmol would do better.

Jesus Yepez: 2.71 (!)

 

I remember seeing a few Boise boxes with some absurd GOs/FOs listed for him. I'm interested in seeing him pitch in Peoria.

 

 

I was keeping some Chiefs 05 pitching stats, but Gallagher's are the only ones that I maintained all season. Anyone who is interested can download the excel sheet of his stats here:

I was holding off posting it because I wanted to clean it up but all the basic splits are there and completed. The one category where there's obviously incomplete info is for pitches per game; I've included what I was able to glean from the broadcasts (thanks Nathan!) I listened to and game articles/recaps.
