Check out the profiles of these 2 starting pitchers and their career stats, and tell me who you think they are... Before you guess the pitchers, examine their stats and tell me based on what you see, who is better.  This comparison is a good example of perception vs reality and also the media and hype.

Clear Pitcher A is better. I'm willing to bet Roy O is pitcher A.

Good call on Roy O. I'm still trying to figure out pitcher b

[Gabe]

Pitcher B zito?

[ForeverADog]

no it isn't Zito. I thought that too but Zito has more wins than that.

[ForeverADog]

Ah I figured it out... Its Beckett. But I don't think Beckett gets anymore credit than Roy O. He is just on a better and more high profile team. Also, He is money in the playoffs.
