I knew Beckett was going to have issues in the AL, even IF he stayed healthy :o

OK, so that doesn't fill me with confidence.

5. Wang has been shaky against the Sox this year |
|
He is my favorite current pitcher, though. Insane GB:FB ratio; highest in the game.

I didn't know that. Very interesting. Not a stat that I'm all that familiar with.

8. It's usually an indicator of power |
|
More fly balls are usually high K pitchers like Randy Johnson or Schilling-- Wang has a relatively low K/9 innings, but he is incredably effective at keeping runners off the bases.
The problem for a ground ball pitcher is that they're REALLY fucked by bad defense, and Wang has had a couple of tough losses due to shitty defense.

In 2004 Derek Lowe (another ground ball pitcher) had a G/F ratio of 2.87. This year Wang has a G/F ratio of 3.35, according to ESPN.
Interesting.
If 3.35 is good, then Lowe was pretty sick (and I don't mean hung over) in '04.
