Power Arms Win Championships
Hmmmmmmmmmmm..........
in a Baseball America feature John Manuel wrote: Quote:
Do they? Let's see............. Did it help any of the Cubs teams from 2001 to 2004? Did it help the Yankees or Red Sox in 2001? How about the D'backs from 2002 to 2004? Now,it did help the Braves in 1995. And the Yankees in 1996. And the Marlins in 1997.......... and the Yankees in 1999. And the Red Sox in 2004......... Clearly, you need something else besides just power arms.........any ideas on what else?

Well, they say anything can happen in a short series. You can win with power arms, you can win with speed, you can win with power, you can win with defense, you can win with small-ball, yadda yadda yadda.

In the case of the 2003 Marlins (-10 RSAA), below average arms win championships.
