In 2009 he just wasn’t that good, but there is something really odd about the way the Phillies never score any runs for him. It will be interesting what happens to him this year. He’s not really cheap anymore, making $9.5 million in ’11. So he’s working his way out of the great-for-someone-who-doesn’t-make-a-lot-of-money category and into the category where he needs to be great compared to everyone.

Having said that, Hamels may have pitched pretty well, but his career W/L is not lousy because of last year alone. His record is not all that good for someone with the team behind him that he has. I’m thinking Carlton. Um, like maybe ’72? Now there is a guy who had an excuse for a lousy record. (I admit, Lefty’s was the single best pitching performance of any pitcher I have ever seen, anywhere, anytime, period, no discussion.)

I’m with Jim on the W/L thing. It’s hard to tell. Hamels pitched pretty well for the Phils last year and the team only went 18-15 in the games that he started, mostly cause the team didn’t score a lot of runs with him pitching. For the record, though, the Phils went 50-28 when Halladay, Hamels or Oswalt started last year. 22-11 in Halladay’s starts, 18-15 for Hamels, 10-2 for Oswalt.

Anyway.. DM, you know pitcher W/L is so subjective. Hamels had a great year last year and barely broke .500.

So if they have 131 starts, can you apply their wins/loss percentage to that number of starts and tell us how many games we might win from the Phantastic Phour in 2011?
