ESPN.com – MLB – Colorado Philadelphia box score
It’s funny. There’s a new Ask Rotoman column posted at mlb.com today, linked to on the fantasy page. One of the quickies is about Kevin Millwood, in which i suggest that some of his early problems may be the result of his defense trying to figure out how to play behind him. That’s because so far his interior numbers (especially ground out to fly out ratio) look similar to last year, but the results have been different.
It’s early yet, so the difference could be meaningless, but someone asked and that seems like a possible explanation.
Oddly, tonight he’s getting lots of outs, not by striking guys out but by having them hit fly balls. Maybe that’s because Rockies hitters tend to try to hit the ball in the air, or it may just be a matter of luck. This is a ridiculously small sample size. But it’s something to bear watching as we follow Millwood this year.
