    As someone who dabbles pretty deeply into sabremetrics, I only have one question.

    The $!#* is SIERA?!?

       Also, before someone over reacts to my previous post. I’ve already read the article on SIERA. It’s a shame that I have to include a disclaimer on perfectly reasonable internet forum jokes.

    I have no idea how Colon is producing like he is. I’m as surprised as everyone else, if not more.

       probably he knows if he holds back and pitches mediocre or worse, then he’s done completely anyway at his age. So he’s decided to risk injury and let loose and gamble that his arm holds up the entire year. just a guess.

    Pretty sure Dempster is not a free agent next year.  He is signed through 2012…
