And he has been on about 75% of his starts in the last two seasons.

 

 

yet somehow his numbers suck. weird.

Wow, 6-2 3.47 sucks? Last year, he had a period of about two months where he struggled, but then found it again at the end of the year. And prior to that two month period, he was really good. If you allow yourself to conclude that he fixed whatever was wrong, he can rightfully be expected to be a dependable starter someone who will give you a good to quality start much of time.

 

That's my argument for why over the last two seasons he has been on about 75% of the time and he has the good numbers to prove it. You just have to look at little deeper to find them.

 

in other words, you have to manipulate the numbers. yeah, just take out a two month stretch...no big deal. why don't we take out 1997-2003? his numbers look even better then.

 

What's your argument that he sucks?

 

his career era of 4.90, his career whip of 1.47, the two month stretch that he sucked last year, his first start against cincy. i guess that's it. i've argued the rusch sucks argument a hundred times before, i don't want to argue it any further and soil the minor league forum.

I'm watching the game on MiLB.com and a couple of innings ago the announcers were talking about all the arms the big league club have to pick from if they need to bring someone up. Who does everyone think will be the first AAA pitcher called up?

If he can stay healthy for a couple of quality starts.
