Breaking down the free-agent class by the numbers

By Paul Casella / MLB.com | November 8th, 2015
Featuring multiple ace-caliber starting pitchers, this offseason's free-agent
class is shaping up to be not only a star-studded one, but also a historic
one.
今年休季後的FA不只星光熠熠，更是歷史的一季。
Between Zack Greinke coming off one of the most dominant regular-season
performances of all-time, fellow aces David Price and John Lackey hitting the
open market, and a couple other veteran starting pitchers also testing free
agency, this year's class is unlike any other in a number of ways. The
following is a look at some of the most impressive facts and figures
surrounding this offseason's crop of free agents.
數位Ace如Zack Greinke、David Price、John Lackey及好幾位老將先發投手要進入FA，
而且今年的等級與以往不同。
‧ Greinke led the Majors this year with a 225 ERA+, while Price checked in
at fifth with a 161 ERA+, and Lackey's 142 ERA+ placed him 10th. Those marks
makes this year the first time that three pitchers with an ERA+ of at least
142 entered free agency in the same offseason.
ERA+:
Greinke：225；Price：161；Lackey：142
這是史上第一次同季有三位ERA+超過142的投手要進入FA。

‧ This will also be the first free-agent class to feature multiple pitchers
coming off a season in which they recorded at least 18 wins with a winning
percentage of .750 or higher. Greinke went 19-3 (.864) over his 32 starts
with the Dodgers, while Price went a combined 18-5 (.783) in his 32 starts
between the Tigers and Blue Jays.
這代表著數位頂級投手將要進入FA，這些球員有著至少18勝、勝率至少.750。
Greinke：19-3 (.864), 32 GS
Price：18-5 (.783), 32 GS
‧ Greinke's 9.3 WAR this past season is the highest all-time by any pitcher
in a season preceding free agency. It's the highest by an impending free
agent overall since 2007, when Alex Rodriguez racked up a 9.4 WAR before
entering free agency and later re-signing with the Yankees.
Greinke的9.3 WAR是史上在進入FA前最高的投手，這是自2007年以來，進入FA前最高的WAR
，上一位是Alex Rodriguez的9.4WAR，不久後洋基重簽回A-ROD。
‧ This is the first time since 2005 that the top pitcher from the previous
season, based on WAR, will enter free agency. The most recent pitcher to do
so was Roger Clemens, who led the Majors with a 7.8 WAR while pitching for
the Astros during the '05 campaign. Despite interest from multiple teams that
offseason, Clemens initially decided to retire before eventually coming out
of retirement
