Good Article on THT

PrintAn interesting article that reveals, among other things, that last year's David Riske is better than anyone we have had in the pen this year. The article focuses mainly on the idea of Pitching Runs Created to show that the bullpen of this year has been, among other things, a massive disaster (notably Betancourt). You don't need this article to tell you this but in case someone didn't see it here it is:

I could see where you get that from the text, however, as it is kind of misleading in calling his PRC anemic. Make sense?

What the numbers show is that our top relievers have performed at a merely decent level, and our middle level guys have been horrible. We haven't had a "Hafner" performer (like the Twins and Tigers have had), and we've had several holes. Recipe for a bad pen.

Of course, they were expected to be somewhat better than that, but they haven't been bad. Betancourt in particular has been okay, all in all, but when your second-best reliever is just okay, well, we all know what that looks like.
I guess the main point is that there's a difference between "disappointing" and "bad." Sort of gets back to that A-Rod article.
