That should add another $25K when KC renews Pena's contract.

Thanks, I've fixed it. Our correct number is 7 and the P.I. now shows that.

Maybe still using the previous year’s park factor?

Yes, this is probably it. I'll look into it.

That doesn't make any sense -- the purpose of OPS+ is that it _is_ park-adjusted. You should point this out to Sean. Obviously when the PI runs it is overlooking some data in its calculation. Maybe still using the previous year's park factor?

redsock, My guess is that the value in PI is not park adjusted, while the one on his player page indicates that it is.

Pena's player page says his OPS+ was 7, not 5. ???

He pitched a perfect inning of relief on July 21, 2008.

Some of my friends found a clip of him pitching in a game a big ago and think he should become a pitcher, good arm.

Pena's season is even more amazing(?) considering MLB is a much more mature game than it was 100 years ago. The scouting and training are more advanced and thorough, which I would think make it harder to dominate and, by the same token, harder to be so bad that a replacement can't easily be found.

How good would Pena's glove have to be to make him worth starting with that offensive output?
