ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. | Brian Bannister after his last start — one the Royals won but in which he settled for a no-decision — declared a won-lost record might be the worst way to judge any pitcher. “It’s the worst stat in baseball because it’s so hard to pull off,” he said. “There are so many other ways you can be evaluated, but everybody comes back to that.”
