[Thremp]

You still are greatly overestimating things, even if Thremp was slightly off. The difference between 300 innings of ace relief and replacement level is like 60 runs tops.

Thayer,

Since crockpot called me out for making unsubstantiated and non researched claims...

I would think the difference between a full scrubs pen and full ace pen being like ~15 or so wins? Like on an otherwise replacement team just taking all the bullpen and putting the 7-9 best guys, but not adjusting for their pitching. This would benefit a team with horrid starting more than good starting pitching it seems.

What're your thoughts?
