I find this topic quite perplexing. As an example I have a quality starting pitcher (Liriano) who has given up a homerun on average of every 4 innings (21) over 83.1 innings, yet he does not have a homerun on his card. My ballpark is 1-11 1-11. That seems pretty preposterous to me. I want to replace him but figure the odds got to even out. The way I see it, the better sample size would not be the individual player but the team, and even more so, the league. But regardless there is still that element of chance which is what baseball is about. Like Mickey Lolich or Bucky Dent hitting a homerun in the World Series. Not likely but could (and did) happen.
