OK Mr. Baseball, give me the typical stats for a #5 pitcher.
I looked at 2011 stats, ranked all 30 MLB teams for WHIP, chose the team closest to average (Detroit), and looked at Detroit's #5 starting slot. In the #5 spot they got 14 starts from Phil Coke (as starter, 1-7, 4.82 ERA, .345 opp OBP, 4.5 K/9), 10 starts from Doug Fister (8-1, 1.79 ERA, 7.3 K/9), and 3 starts from Jacob Turner (0-1, 12.2 IP, 12 ER).
