He's just so bad.

 

Yeah. On the one hand they zero in on great reclamation projects like Arrieta and Hamel and his ilk, but then they go out and and make critical moves for guys like Haren and Jackson who just turn out to be complete disasters. I'll be happy with a nice, boring average starter.

What did Tsuoyoshi Wada do to get so doghoused? I wasn't paying attention as much earlier in the season but he had reasonable enough numbers and I don't see why he wasn't entitled to his job coming back from injury?

I think the general consensus was that he was about to lose his "job" when he got hurt anyway. He would get off to good starts and then get shelled the 2nd or 3rd time through. That said, it's hard to believe he'd be worse than Haren right now.

Well, the main problem was that he just hadn't shown he was capable of staying healthy and giving us innings. And he was getting roughed up in AAA on his rehab stint when we made the trade. So maybe his stuff just wasn't there, either.

 

At that point, he was nothing more than depth for us. We couldn't conceivably rely on him to be the fifth starter. The problem is: Dan Haren wasn't the answer, either.

Holy Christ, Haren is easily the most infuriating person on this team all season. Please catapult him into the sea.

 

I will quibble with your use of "easily," lest you forget about Brian Schlitter.

Mojo, really? Haren over Schlitter? I can't go THAT far. Over anyone else is easy. But holy [expletive], Schlitter is in a class of suck extremely few players can/have/ever will enter.
