ERV Update
For no particular reason, other than I am having some tile work done today, I give you the White Sox ERV figures, through 12 games of the season. Your stars and goats are pretty much as you would expect them.

Fielding
| Player | ERV |

| Crede | -0.92 |
| AJ | -0.11 |
| Thornton | -0.29 |
| Iguchi | -1.46 |
| Podsednik | -0.23 |
What you should roughly take from this is that Jim Thome's offense has been so good (+11.46 runs) that he actually compensates for the poor performance of Scott Podsednik (-5.46 runs) and Brian Anderson (-6.00 runs). By "compensating", I mean that, altogether, Thome, Podsednik and Anderson produce about league-average offense (4.5 runs per game). As a team, the offense is +7 runs better than average.
By contrast, the pitching staff has been about as below average as the offense is above average (-9.23 ERV). It's relatively equally distributed - the starters as a whole are -6.36 ERV, while the relievers are at -2.87 ERV in fewer innings. Of course, without Jon Garland, the pitching staff would be on the positive side of the ledger.
There may be other things you can discover here; I leave that to you.
