Barbecued Grilli?

After a season of inconsistency, Jason Grilli finally seems to have found a groove. I decided to calculate some stats and crunch some numbers to see how Grilli has fared in allowing inherited runners to score.

Via Billfer: Stat of the Day » Best & Worst Inherited Runner Scoring Percentage

Bobby Seay is amongst the best at stranding runners and Tim Byrdak is amongst the worst.

I went and calculated Grilli's inherited runners v. inherited runners scored. He has inherited 50 runners, and allowed 14 of them to score. This means 28% of the runners Grilli has inherited have scored. What this says is that Grilli is jushttp://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7004180488361536292&postID=2199810234458422369t outside the top 25 in stranding inherited runners; Gary Glover is number 25 at 21%. Santiago Casilla is the best at 5%, while Ruddy Lugo is the worst at 59%.

So this means Grilli is not terrible at keeping inherited runners from scoring. One less reason to rag on the guy, perhaps?
