The Fat Man

Check out this line:

2008 27 CLE AL   0   2   3   3   0   0   0  0   14.0   24   18   18   3    9   13   1   0    74   1   0 11.57  4.23   37 2.357

This pathetic excuse for a pitching line is the biggest reason the Tribe is two games below .500. Who'd a thunk last year's CY Young trophy winner would lay not one, not two but THREE NEal Heaton-like starts on his team?

This guy's supposed to be the next hundred-million-dollar pitcher, and he's throwng meatballs.

I tell you right now: Forge the Tigers; the Indians are in real trouble.

Apparently this line is tired already tired in Cleveland, but I was the first one in Chicago to think of it: He must be trying to pitch his way back into the Indians' price range.

Seriously though I'm making a sad face right now because he's KILLING my fantasy team.

i went for a run today with my buddy, maleski, and he said exactly the same thing: the tribe can now afford the fat guy.

he went for 32 units (top-end for a pitcher not named "santana") in our AL-only rotisserie league, and the guy who drafted him dies a little every start.
