Players were ranked in part by using such stats as ERA+, K/9, BB/9, H/9, HR/9, scouting reports and health history. Again, the ranking system isn't as much about precision then it is about providing an overview of the quality and depth of a team's starting rotation. (Thanks again to the online community that assisted with the research; a multitude of opinions can only help.) 印地安人队被排在美联第三（跟NL的评比一起看的话也是前四） Cleveland Indians (16 points) ‧ Elite (4): C.C. Sabathia ‧ Above-average (3): Fausto Carmona ‧ Average to above-average (4): Jake Westbrook, Paul Byrd ‧ Mystery (2): Cliff Lee, Jeremy Sowers ‧ Up-and-coming (3): Aaron Laffey, Adam Miller, Chuck Lofgren Comment: Cy Young-winner Sabathia leads a deep staff that is not without its question marks. Carmona, Lee, and Sowers don't have a long track record of success, and the rest of the rotation doesn't strike out many batters. The up-and-comers have a long way to go to prove themselves, making this group vulnerable to disappointment. C.C.跟 Carmona在2007年大概帮球队多拿了 +8 wins above average，是整个投手阵容 中最重要的两个人，Carmona 是比较让人担心的，毕竟那只是他第一个完整先发的大联 盟球季，明年的成绩预期应该是要向下修。Lee 、Sowers、Laffey、Miller四个人加起 来能补上至少 +2 wins above average吗？（还是说有人在期待 Westbrook或Byrd爆气 ？）好吧，至少我们以深度取胜。 顺便连一下NL的部分： http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_weisman/12/20/nl.rotations/index.html (http://0rz.tw/903tt ) 就算不看排名，看了这两篇文章对於各队有哪些先发投手可用也可以有一个概略的认识。 -- Tribe Fan In Taiwan http://anakinlai.blogspot.com/ --
