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).
I'm sure I don't have to point this out to you but that's not going to give us anything like average numbers for a #5. Decent method for pulling something out quick though. I tried to start figuring it out at BR and gave up after 5 minutes
Maybe tom or someone else with a BA sub can find something
