*2014 VEB Community Projection Results: Lance Lynn
All of the projections are... remarkably similar for Lance Lynn. VEB is a little bit optimistic on wins, but other than that, everything is almost spot on with each other. As usual, PECOTA's the most pessimistic, seeing Lynn with a 12-13 record and a 3.89 ERA, but that's certainly unrealistic at all. With our offense, it's hard to imagine that record with that ERA, but W/L are weird stats to start with! K/9 all are between 8.30 and 8.76, BB/9 are all between 3.10 and 3.29, while ERA are all between 3.52 and 3.89. ...

Bird Bytes: Lance Lynn, season preview
The Cardinals' righthander is a good major-league starter, and if he can correct his most damaging flaw, he could become a formidable starter.

Advanced Stats Indicate Lance Lynn Is Poised to Emerge As a Top-Tier MLB Starter
Don't listen to St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Joe Strauss. Advanced stats indicate Lance Lynn's ERA belies a pitcher poised for a breakout year. Joe Strauss's weekend column on stltoday.com is based on the false premise that Lance Lynn is a good major-league starter despite what advanced stats say about his first two years in the role. Strauss frames his case as pitching "wins" vs. advanced stats. In reality, someone can think Lynn is a good pitcher without paying any mind to his pitching "wins" total, and focusing on his advanced metrics. I did so just last year during spring training....

Lance Lynn and His High Walk Rate
Lance Lynn has been a durable innings-eater for the Cardinals over the previous two seasons. He has survived a high walk rate by striking out roughly a batter per inning. Pitchers with similar profiles have not lasted very long issuing that many free passes. Lance Lynn, although drawing the ire from some segments of the fanbase for his mannerisms (read: sweat) on the mound, has been nothing but solid in his first two years as a starter. Through his age 26 season, Lance Lynn's 412 ⅓ innings pitched with a 3.82 ERA, 3.34 FIP, and 6.5 fWAR compare favorably with Adam Wainwright's 411 innings...

2014 VEB Community Projections: Lance Lynn
Lance Lynn is a very good, above-average pitcher. In just over 400 innings pitched in his career, he's been worth 6.5 WAR. With 9.12 strikeouts per nine innings, he strikes out a lot of batters for a starting pitcher, who average 7.19 strikeouts per nine as a population. With 3.30 walks per nine innings, he walks an above-average number of batters for a starting pitcher, who average 2.83 walks per nine as a population. He has a very pronounced split, with lefties hitting to the tune of a 4.79 xFIP and him holding righties to a 2.62 xFIP. Against lefties, he strikes out 7.98 per nine and...
