Last year the average tRA for an American League starting pitcher was 4.94. This year it is 4.46. It has actually dipped lower than the National League which fell to 4.56 from 4.60. A nearly half run drop for the entire league is pretty large and not entirely our fault. It does make it harder for our starters to distinguish themselves.

Oh hells yeah, September! Finally.
In case you were wondering how Dan Haren has been doing since coming back to the AL, the answer is good. The good news is that he hasn't been too good. His strikeouts have predictably fallen and he's missing many fewer bats. His FIPs are nearly identical between Arizona and Anaheim, but his xFIP has risen to well over 4. It's a small sample, but hey we gotta hope for something in 2011. Damn you, Diamondbacks.
Trevor Bell hasn't allowed a home run yet this season in the rotation and just one while he was in the bullpen. Make him pay uhhh... hopefully soon to be called up Rainiers.
Seriously, go to hell Arizona. You have dumb management.
