AL to NL SP

"A lot of people seem to be surprised by how dominant Pedro Martinez has been for the Mets so far this season. He is 6-1 with a 2.62 ERA in 11 starts and has held opponents to an amazingly low .159 batting average, but part of that is due to moving from Fenway Park to Shea Stadium (Pedro’s home ERA from 2002-2004 was 13% higher than his road ERA). Another factor is that he is now able to face a pitcher each time through the lineup, as opposed to a designated hitter. That might not seem like such a big deal, but he’s held #9 hitters to a .037/.037/.037 line (that’s 1-for-27 with no walks and no extra-base hits) this year, getting a strikeout 67% of the time."

A lot of people who can be said to have not realized the full potential of their intelligence.

Any one who has realized this full potential knew the #9 hitter stinks in the NL and the #8 is almost as bad. Neither would be any everyday player in the AL.

Nevermind Pedro struck out more than 200 batters in 2004.

All AL pitchers must be adjusted upwards in value when they move to the NL.
