The Predictably Unpredictable Career of Jamie Moyer

Sometimes my timing stinks. This is one of those times.

Last Friday afternoon I finished the rough draft of a column on Jamie Moyer that began by noting how incredible it is that a 47-year-old could be 6-5 with a 3.98 ERA so deep in the season. Then I made some comments about his overall career before concluding that as nice and heartwarming as his season was, he was incredibly unlikely to keep his performance up, because his 2010 performance was entirely dependent on a BABIP that was more than 50 points lower than his career marker.
