What determines if an RP is an R1 or an R2? Is it average lengh per outing or total innings pitched?
Any idea what Strat uses to decide?

IP/G it is. I looked at 15 R1's and R2's from this years set. None of the R2's had a ratio of IP/G less than 1. Veras' was the lowest at 48IP/48G = 1.
With one exception, none of the R1's had a ratio higher than 1. Lewis had the highest at 36/37.1 = .97. The exception was Farnsworth. 64/60 = 1.06.
A couple of other tidbits I've discovered over the years: 29 2/3 innings are required for any pitcher to receive a card and with the rare exception (Tony Pena in this years set has an S6 with only 3 starts but he pitched 100 innings overall) starters need 4 GS's to get an S rating.
For you pre-card and keeper league drafters: Dana Eveland came into his last start for the Dodgers needing 5 2/3 to get a card. He lasted 5 2/3 exactly. 5 starts on the season. 1.15/3.03.

[quote:77d32c90e4]29 2/3 innings are required for any pitcher to receive a card [/quote:77d32c90e4]Just to be picky, this is not a hard-and-fast rule. Joba Chamberlain got a card with 24 IP in 2007, and Francisco Rodriguez got one with a mere 5.2 IP in 2002.
Factors most likely include playoff performance (it would have been very difficult to simulate the '02 postseason without a K-Rod card); saves (you'd be more likely to get a card with them than without); and the number of other pitchers on the team that they could potentially card.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I can't imagine a card as good as Joba or K-Rod's that had <30 IP would be allowed in the game. Letting people use such a card for 100-150 IP in a season, which is not too difficult to get out of a reliever in SOM, would be pretty crazy. A crappy card might get in, though ;)

No, in fact it's quite possible that none of them will be an R2. Venters is the only one with a chance I think.
O'Flaherty - 78 G, 73 2/3 IP
Kimbrel - 79 G, 77 IP
Venters - 85 G, 88 IP
Three guys worth noting that should be getting R2 status:
Tyler Clippard 72 G, 88 1/3 IP
Jim Johnson 69 G, 91 IP
Greg Holland 46 G, 60 IP
Venters, Al Alburquerque (41 G, 43 1/3 IP) and Daniel Bard (70 G, 73 IP), as well as a few others have a shot, too.
