Is Marquis going to be league average in VORP? Yes, you're on Really hard bet to measure... Do you base it on SP's who qualify based on IP? If so, Marquis is unlikely to be better than average. Do you base it on all SP's who appear for their teams at all? If that's the case, Marquis will pitch enough innings to be well above league average. If both of the extremes are too...extreme...then where do you find the appropriate cutoff? The line is drawn to where I would win or lose the bet.
