Those numbers correspond with his previous career marks in relief (86 IP): 3.34 ERA, with 9.6 Dom and 3.0 Cmd.

Skipper Robin Ventura confirmed earlier this week that which had become obvious from recent usage patterns: that Addison Reed (RHP, CHW) was now the team's primary closer. After naming Hector Santiago (LHP, CHW), then the infamous "committee" as the team's stopper over the first six-plus weeks, Ventura seems to have put his stamp on what skills-based analysts have been saying all along: that given his high strikeout rate (11.5 Dom), good Cmd (2.4), Reed is the best Sox reliever to have at the end of the game.

Josh Johnson (RHP, MIA) supposedly entered the year healthy, having recovered from a bum shoulder that cost him much of last season. But so far, his 1-3 record, 5.36 ERA and a couple of very rocky starts is disconcerting for owners who expected him to bounce back from shoulder problems and be something close to the Cy Young contender he was in 2010.

We all "know" that hitters do better in warm weather and pitchers do better in cold weather. But is this really true? Can this be demonstrated by examining how stats vary over the course of a season? And if it is true, what are the implications for managing our fantasy rosters?
