Your whole take seems to be that you are extremely analytical and you have a very intelligent take on the sport because numbers do not lie, and you follow the numbers. No reliance on observations, gut feelings, or personal opinions. Given your take on all things baseball I am surprised that you would pick Jansen as the top National League relief pitcher. This vote, I dare say, borders on a hometown vote. Kimbrel had a better ERA+, WAR, H/9, SO/9, etc. Kenley had a better WHIP and his team did make the playoffs, but surely that's not why you voted him first. Melancon also had a better ERA+ than Jansen too. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
