Comments on: WHIP – The Forgotten Stat http://fantasybaseball.com/whip-the-forgotten-stat/ The Official Site of Fantasy Baseball Wed, 14 Mar 2012 02:50:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Fred Zinkie http://fantasybaseball.com/whip-the-forgotten-stat/comment-page-1/#comment-29 Fred Zinkie Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:51:55 +0000 http://fantasybaseball.com/?p=8711#comment-29 Craig - I agree that you will get more K's with Burnett but you will need to double-check the wins. Did you know that Burnett has won more than 13 games just once in his career? Last year the Yankees were the best team in baseball and he still only won 13 games. Baker won 15 games last year - two more than Burnett and you could argue that when you consider their ages, Baker is the one with more potential to improve. On my draft projections I have Baker slightly higher than Burnett because I am expecting a lower ERA and WHIP, less K's and the same win total.

To go with Scott Baker and get a great WHIP but less wins, and k's makes little sense.
