The Silent Stud

Who's the best pitcher on the Angels' staff? It's... Kevin Gregg, who has a 20.8 VORP. The breakdown overall:

Name	G	GS	IP	H/9	BB/9	SO/9	HR/9	BABIP	ERA	RA	PK_RA	RA+	RP	VORP
Kevin Gregg	24	0	41	7	2.2	9.4	0.2	0.287	1.32	1.54	1.63	301	15	20.8

Francisco Rodriguez	27	0	33	6.3	3	14.5	0.3	0.349	1.36	1.91	2.03	242	10.6	15.4
Aaron Sele	12	8	55.7	9.1	3.4	4.5	0.8	0.293	3.56	3.72	3.96	124	6	14.7
Scot Shields	25	0	40.7	6.2	3.5	10.2	0.2	0.262	2.66	2.88	3.06	160	8.4	14.6
Jarrod Washburn	12	12	72	11.2	2.5	5.4	1.1	0.327	5.62	5.75	6.12	80	-9.5	2.7
Troy Percival	19	0	17.7	11.2	5.6	5.1	1.5	0.317	5.09	5.09	5.42	90	-1	2
Ramon Ortiz	14	5	41.3	10.5	3.5	7.8	0.9	0.355	5.44	5.66	6.02	81	-5	2
John Lackey	11	11	67	9.8	3	4	1.2	0.283	5.64	5.91	6.29	78	-10.1	1.3
Matt Hensley	3	0	4	13.5	4.5	4.5	0	0.429	6.75	6.75	7.18	68	-1	-0.3
Dusty Bergman	1	0	2	18	4.5	4.5	0	0.5	13.5	13.5	14.36	34	-2.1	-1.6
Bartolo Colon	12	12	69	10.8	3.3	7.3	2	0.325	6	6.52	6.94	70	-15.4	-3.3
Ben Weber	18	0	22.3	14.9	6	4.4	1.6	0.379	8.06	9.67	10.29	47	-13.3	-8.9

Think about that next time Colón starts.

Update: Gregg's 20.8 VORP puts him in the neighborhood of Mariano Rivera (19.5) and Javier Vazquez (21.0) of the Yankees, as well as the Dodgers' best starter, Odalis Perez (20.6), and Matt Clement of the Cubs (21.2). In other words, he's right up there with some of the top-shelf pitchers in the game today.
