RELIEVERS: Let the pie fly
May 29 2012
Sometimes, we get pie on our face--like when cautioning about Ernesto Frieri's flyball tendencies and high walk rates outside of PETCO Park. Apparently, the answer is to just pump up the Dom to 16.3 and voila! Success!

Then we look quickly just at BPV as a back-of-the-envelope tool.
Detroit has had its struggles this year, but closer Jose Valverde (RHP, DET) has saved 9 of 11 chances so far. It is in his BPIs to date that trouble appears to be coming:
