I'm about to go crabby old statistics man are you. Are you ready? Here goes nothing: Win-loss records are so gosh darn pointless.

Do you feel it, that Important Stats Creed washing over you like the refreshing baptismal waters of the Red Sea? Yeah, the whole win-loss record bad thing is a little bit played out, but to a generation raised on wins as the stat worth more than a McDouble, it's still a bit jarring when wins don't coincide with how well a pitcher is actually pitching. Case in point: remaining pitcher projections see him as better than Gio Gonzalez. Better than Justin Verlander (barely). Better than, gasp, the One True Lord and Savior of Queens Matt Harvey. If you play fantasy baseball with friends that just look at those win-loss records, take advantage and pick up Burnett right now.
