John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

FIP: Fielding independent pitching ERA (13 x HR + 3 x (BB + HBP) - 2 x SO) / IP + 3.2. This regresses BABIP to league average for everyone by focusing on the things a pitcher has direct control over.
RSAA: Runs saved above average. Park-adjusted league average relief RA (R/IP*9) - Individual relief RA divided by 9 times IP. Includes all runs, not just earned runs.
RSAR: Runs saved above replacement. I just multiply park-adjusted league average relief RA by 1.2, since AAA is about 80% of the quality of the AL.
FRAA: RSAA using FIP instead of RA.
FRAR: RSAR using FIP instead of RA.

Why May 29th? Because that's the day after Joba officially left the pen. FIP says that they may be pitching a little over their heads, but even with a correction the key relievers in the pen have been very good. Even the Hawk has been serviceable.

Is it possible that this is all because of the personnel on hand, or is it because Joe Girardi is a better bullpen manager than Joe Torre? My guess is the truth lies somewhere in the middle. It's really fun to watch the pen now though, isn't it?
