If he were actually throwing games, that would show up in his stats, and if he were faking injuries, he would have been missing starts, no?
Ah, nevermind. Bad idea. Silly me thinking statistics can help answer questions. That's just like, my opinion, man.

Tell me how Joe Jackson's stats in the 1919 World Series would clue you in to the fact he was on the gamblers' payroll, paid to lose.
