Mets Relievers in May Part II

Brian ElbergMay 25, 2010

Earlier in the month I wrote an article discussing a new statistic I was studying over the course of the month called Reliever Rating. So far in May the ratings of all the Met relievers are...

Mejia-0.907111111
Nieve-1.9314
Feliciano-3.140846154
Rodriguez-1.37763
Takahashi0.549166667
Valdes-0.11975
Acosta0.1188
Perez0.1341
Dessens-1.387
Igarashi-22.63

Some games this month revealed the first real problems with this statistic.  For example, on May 20th against the Nationals.  Pedro Feliciano, entered with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 8th and gave up 2 runs.  Now this does not sound so bad, however because the Mets were up by 7 when he entered the game.  His small negative score was multiplied by 7, ballooning it to -17.25.
