The Brooklyn Rotation

I don't know if enough ink has been spilled in their honor, but if you were following the Cyclones closely this year, you gradually came to realize that every day was Dickey Day, and high strikeouts, low walks, and quality starts was the new normal, all through the rotation. Don't know how this will translate beyond the New York Penn League, but this rotation --- all Latinos (five Dominicans and a Mexican who went to the Mets' Dominican Academy) --- has put up silly numbers end to end.

A SO/BB ratio 2.16 standard deviations from the mean. It's a world removed from the mean is what I"m saying. In another year, you might think, "Hey, this Hilario kid might be a keeper." But this year, he's a tagalong. Filler. Excess. The number six guy in a five-man rotation. We're that spoiled for riches in the group heading to St. Lucie this year. That's a nice treat to go with your milquetoast in the morning.
