Toward the end of last season I posted a blurb I'd seen on Twitter about a custom stat in Fantrax called Quality Appearances that I think better suits the way today's pitchers are managed than Quality Starts. I mentioned at the time that I'd love to do a vote on it in the offseason. Well, here we are.
This what a Quality Appearance would consist of:
* 4 or more innings pitched with 1 earned run or less allowed
* 5 or more innings pitched with 2 earned runs or less allowed
* 7 or more innings pitched with 3 earned runs or less allowed
This does a couple of things in my mind:
- Gives credit to pitchers who are in systems that aren't going to let them go 6 innings no matter what.
- Raises the bar a bit for getting a point while giving up 3 runs. I've always thought the 6 innings was too high but so was the 3 runs allowed for quality starts. This feels more like what I consider a good outing.
We're not going to change this without a yes vote from at least 51% of the league. That said, I'm not going to be shy about giving this my full endorsement and urging you guys to vote yes. I genuinely believe this is an upgrade to our league.
