Ouch. He has not been doing well with Boston. In 8 starts:

 

8.32 ERA, 57 ERA+ 1.70 WHIP

 

Of those 8 starts, he has allowed 5 or more ER 6 times. I doubt Boston is going to watch this go on for much longer.

i doubt it too

They're not. He was DFA'ed a few hours ago.

They're not. He was DFA'ed a few hours ago.

Whoops, wasn't that up to date on him.

I wonder if an NL team will sign him. I hope he retires - he was a fixture of my Braves-hating early teen years, and as much as I disliked him then, I don't want him to further tarnish his legacy. I mean, jeez, he's just been awful this year.

 

Man, that Braves rotation was awesome.

[J.R.]

This was hard to watch.

 

Having said that, I would probably do the same and make them take the uniform from me.

[erik316wttn]

He's done.

 

Walk away, John, and start working on that Hall of Fame speech. You've got 5 years to get it right.
