Have the Royals picked him up?

Or are we just assuming it will happen?

Was Ortiz a Brave?

Love the “pull up a chair young man” line.

How could you forget the 2004 Braves?

With their pitching rotation built up from their awesome farm system from aquiring pitchers from other organizations?

I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.

Where is the

“even the Royals could score off this guy, so he should be nowhere near any pitching staff related to Major League Baseball” option?

If all else fails, stop using all else

the sad thing is that I thought that this could be a possibility

I mean, look who is pitching for us tonight and tomorrow night?

When it happens, I eagerly await the comments like:

“How could you not like this move?!?! He’s better than Ponson!!!!!”

“At least he’s not Ponson!”

“Finally, Ponson will be off this team!”

You can insert Chen’s name in there too.

Isn't Scott Elarton still available too?

What the hell are we waiting for? 4 starters with ERAs in double digits would be fun to see.

Yes, I'm still alive. Sorry to disappoint you.

I don't know how ERA is evaluated, I really don't

Its pretty clear watching games every day, who can pitch and who cannot.

It's all about wins and losses right?

At least that’s what McClure said in the Star’s “Banny does Sabermetrics” article. Banny likes xFIP, McClure likes wins. Go figure.
