K ꓘ 99 - Struggling Players Who We're Still Buying
Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) wanted to look at potential buy lows, but it isn't enough these days to identify pitchers with a poor ERA but great peripherals, or hitters with bad results and a great xwOBA. So we go a level deeper and find pitchers whose ERA and FIP and hitters whose wOBA and xwOBA are ugly. And then we figure out who we might want to keep around.
