This anti-Swanson dude is totally not an objective observer. So the #s you base your analysis on applies to everyone but Swanson? Swanson is only 25 yrs old -he’s incapable of improvement?
add: he’s *underperforming* his xStats
Maybe you should focus on going more than five innings in a start, Jeff.
Here’s some xTra credit for you, Swanson’s BABIP is the same, yet his BA is 26 points higher, what can you infer from that? Now go build a better foundation for analysis.
