Pitchers - 2008 vs. Average

Ok
After seeing the 8 position players were significantly below their career averages as a group, it is time to look at the Starting 5 pitchers. For this analysis I will actually do 6 pitchers since we are not sure yet if Happ or Park will win the 5th spot.

Hamels Wins Losses Percent Era
2008 14 10 .583 3.09
Career 24 13 .649 3.43

Meyers
2008 10 13 .435 4.55
Average 59 47 .557 4.37

Moyer
2008 16 7 .696 3.71
Average 56 60 .483 4.46

Blanton
2008 9 12 .429 4.68
Average 42 34 .553 4.18

Park
2008 4 4 .435 3.40
Average 23 22 .511 5.33

Happ
2008 1 1 .500 4.55
No previous stats

So let's combine them
2008 54 47 .535 4.00
Average 205 177 .537 4.35

Conclusion
It seems the Starting Pitching staff was pretty much right in line with their Career(Last 5 years) averages. The winning percentage was slightly under, but the ERA was also under.
We will need a repeat performance in 2009 to make another run.
