Probably not quite that high but if he’s going to be a big K guy, miss bats, keep the walks down and throw a ton of GBs, that’s basically the dream profile. Now, he obviously has a ways to go and personally, I agree with Tony that he needs to go Aberdeen but the profile is what you want. -

Here's one of the better Wikipedia references I've come across - it sounds like in 1891 the park missed the first month of the season and had a mid-May grand opening. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rJFDAAAAIBAJ&sjid=grkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=7081%2C3981859 Like Memorial Stadium, that site also looks like it would have been an easy walk from City, Rubenstein's alma mater, which also was going by then. -

Run scoring consistency is pretty easy: either a team's standard deviation of runs scored, or maybe coefficient of variation of runs scored. Take all the O's runs scored for the year and dump them into a spreadsheet and run the STDEV calculation. The O's this year have scored 5.1 runs/game, and the standard deviation of their runs scored is 3.3. The coefficient of variation or variance (3.3/5.1) is 0.64. One standard deviation of O's runs is between 1.8 runs and 8.4 runs. The Astros, with the fewest Ks in the league, average 4.4 runs/game, with almost exactly the same standard deviation as the O's at 3.3. Their variance therefore is higher at 0.75. One standard deviation of Astros runs is between 1.1 runs and 7.7 runs. So with this very small sample of just two teams (which you should never use to draw any broad conclusions), you could argue that the Orioles and all their strikeouts have been more consistent in scoring runs than the relatively contact-prone Astros. -

Honestly we should add Cowser to the list. Since his hot start he has looked like he has hit a wall the last couple weeks. Between all these guys just getting regular rest we should be seeing Kjerstad 3-4 times a week.
