WHIP#
OAV#
ERC+

In that order.

Although a bad HR/9+ is a deal breaker.

If you're asking about my method, I always start with ERC+, then look at all three of WHIP, OAV, and HR/9. After finding some interesting names, I look at the normalized stats to decide between the remaining candidates. Park factor also plays a role when deciding between a low HR guy or a low BB guy.

As far as which is more important between WHIP and OAV, I really have no idea, but tell me if you find out.

I sort by hr/9, OAV#and BB/9.I think low OAV and BB/9, under 3, are the most important, but I like to play in HR+ parks, so Hr/9 plays a big part in any pitcher I pick. I don't really look at WHIP, but if I'm searching low OAV and BB/9, good WHIP numbers usually follow.

Very close to what I do ... I sort by WHIP#, but use OAV#/+, HR/9#/+ and BB/9# (in that order)

Quote: Originally posted by just4me on 2/06/2010I sort by WHIP# within my target budget and IP/162, but use HR/9#/+, OAV#/+, and BB/9# (in that order) to actually decide on my pitchers...

I mainly sort by ERC#....after my other category min/max have been set. (But not exclusively by ERC#)

Man, I never use ERC in any of its forms. After seeing some of the people who do use it, I may have to rethink my process.

This post has a rating of , which is below the default threshold.
first, you need to realize the difference between Raw, +, and # stats. Raw (OAV, for example) is self-explanatory, and + (OAV+) is how far above or below league average they are in that stat. however, neither will tell you everything, that's what the # (OAV#) is for. so for whatever stat you're looking at, # is the best in general.

as for the best stat, ERC is all encompassing. i always start there. it is basically a combination of WHIP and HR/9, while WHIP is a combination of BB/9 and OAV. so once i start with ERC, i then move on to BB/9, OAV, and HR/9 to fit my stadium.

1. ERC#
2. BB#, OAV#, HR#
3. K#, ERA#
