I was looking over some data for [tag]starting pitchers[/tag] over their last 3 starts and found some interesting strikeout to walk data that may help with trade ideas or future acquisitions. These guys seem to be firing on all cylinders right now.
[tag]Paul Byrd[/tag] | Cleveland Indians - Byrd is pitching much better in the beginning of 2007 than he did in 2006. He’s 3-1 right now with 23 strikeouts and a 3.49 ERA. But what really caught me eye was over his last 3 starts he sporting a 13:0 k:bb ratio with a 3.56 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP over 20.2 innings.
[tag]Tim Hudson[/tag] | Atlanta Braves - What a turn around in ‘07 from a pretty dismal ‘06. Much of this may be attributed to his control. He has a 43:13 k:bb ratio overall and a 11:1 k:bb ratio over his last 3 starts. His walks per 9 innings are good at 1.77 and so are his home runs per 9 innings at 0.27. His sub 1.00 WHIP is nothing to sneeze at either.
[tag]Dan Haren[/tag] | Oakland Athletics - Haren hasn’t had too much to brag about in the win/loss column over his last 3 starts as he’s not factored into any decision lately. But his 24:5 k:bb ratio are pretty darned good. Add that to his sub 2.00 ERA and sub 1.00 WHIP over his last 3 starts and Haren should start producing wins soon.

You’re kidding, right? In what league are these three pitchers unknowns (or even unowned in the case of Haren and Hudson)?
You might as well throw Johan and Jake Peavy in there for the three people living at the Antarctic research station who’ve never heard of them. After all, they’re pretty good… we should all be made aware.

I appreciate you reading the blog here and taking time out of your busy day to comment. I wish more people would.
I don’t exactly see where I call these guys unknowns. I just think they are kicking butt over their last three starts and maybe they’ll continue to do so.
But, if you’re “pitching” a weekly article where you introduce us all to 3 unknown pitchers, you’re more than welcome to participate as a guest columnist. I’ll just need your first name for a tag line. Is it Quite or Freakin’?
