Brian, if you click on the picture that says “leaders” at the top of the page, then click pitchers, advanced, then go the last row where it says E-F (which means ERA minus fielding independent ERA) and click once and you’ll see the luckiest pitchers based on FIP, click again and you’ll see the unluckiest. At the top you’ll see Ricky Nolasco’s name because his fielding independent in the farthest in the wrong direction of his ERA. Simply looking at FIP and ERA, Nolasco has the most unlucky pitcher in a few years.

Any chance of similar analysis for OTHER SPs who underperformed this year based on the numbers? I could look it all up but I’m kinda lazy…

This column came at a great time for me — I own Ricky in a five-keeper points league where pitching is very scarce. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been considering naming him my 5th keep because his FIP and K rate look real solid. Then he went an K’d 16 to end his season, which only amped up my interest in keeping him. I’m being offered a sixth round pick in next year’s draft for him. Do I keep Ricky or Tulowitzki?

Agreed 100%, what a strange season stat wise for this guy.
