1) Once I have an equivalent number of innings to xyz team, I'll be right with them in Wins and K's
or
2) My pitchers blow and last 4 innings, therefore I have 50 IP less than everyone else.
In my case, it's most likely 2, but my K rate actually isn't so bad relative to everyone else's.
Here you can see that Youuuk deserves to be in the lead for k's/inning with 0.8 per inning, vs Don't Trade Roberts 0.6 per inning. Andrew on the other hand is tied for the worst K rate in the league, but is in 4th place with over 40 innings pitched more than Mark.
Wins per inning is strikingly similar with everyone but me coming in at .06 or .07. I'd argue that I have been a bit unlucky at wins this year - haven't picked up any vulture wins from my relievers and even though I have by far the worst staff and plenty of blow-up starts where a win is not likely, I've also had plenty of quality starts not turn into wins. Interesting that everyone else is so consistent here; Andrew did you do some analysis on wins at some point and if we were all where we should be?

Interesting stuff Spencer. I tried keeping up with AB and inning pitched with my daily updates, but it ended up being too much work.
Wins and saves are funny stats. Along with stolen bases, they're stochastic and rare enough that a bit of luck (good or bad) can make a huge difference in the standings. Youk's terrible start with saves last year, for example.
It certainly is nice to see that I'm actually leading the league in K/9. One thing to keep in mind is that Youk is currently projected to pass the IP limit by 20 innings. With pitchers like Halladay who tend to go very deep into games, the IP limit is something to keep an eye on.
One final thought - it might be nice to change the K/inning to K/9, which we're all probably more familiar with. Also, if you do wins/9 or something similar, you might start to see a bit of a difference between people's starting pitching.
