He has a 3.11 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.26, and 105 RSAA in 120 games. Only 4 active pitchers had more RSAA than Oswalt, through the age of 26-- RSAA 1 Pedro Martinez 177 2 Roger Clemens 175 3 Mike Mussina 127 4 Barry Zito 116 5 Roy Oswalt 105 6 Tim Hudson 104 7 Mark Buehrle 102 8 Johan Santana 86 T9 Greg Maddux 84 T9 Roy Halladay 84 T9 Andy Pettitte 84 2) The Marlins sent Ps Ronald Belisario, Michael Flannery, Kevin Cave, Trevor Hutchinson, Josh Johnson, Mike Neu and Scott Olsen to the minors. 3) The Cubs sent OF Adam Greenberg, Cs Jose Reyes and Robinson Cancel and Ps Roberto Novoa, David Crouthers, Raul Valdez to the minors. 4) The Mets released Ps Joey Hamilton and Lance Davis.

After 5.35 ERA/-1 RSAA and 3.77 ERA/32 RSAA seasons, May had a 5.61 ERA/-25 RSAA in 31 starts. He has a 4.98 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.55, and -6 RSAA in 137 games. If you enjoy the ATM reports and want to support them, check out my other creation--the sabermetric baseball encyclopedia. Orders are now being taken for the next edition, which will include the 2004 stats and is currently shipping. It's powerful, yet extremely easy to use. Features extensive sorting, stat display options, and features that are not available in online and printed sources. The deluxe package has been greatly expanded, making it a much better bargain. For more information, see http://www.baseball-encyclopedia.com According to Peter Gammons, "There is no greater baseball tool than Lee Sinins' Baseball Sabermetric Encyclopedia. Get thee to Baseball Immortals and order the disc, haste post haste." The product Jayson Stark called "the best invention since the toaster oven!" has gotten even more powerful.
