as far back as the FG plate discipline data goes (2002), there hasn't been a season (min. 100 PA) where a player has swung less often than Kottaras did in 2013
it's utterly hysterical that you're pissing your pants over not being able to shower a pitcher with money, who missed significant time with injury this year and when he actually pitched, pitched pretty shitty like you're so absolutely desperate to see money spent on something you don't care what that it's even spent on
and that's not misleading? (separate years of 4.60, 4.61 in that time) ok put it this way: he just set a career high in xFIP, with 4.29, and still only 4 qualified starters in baseball had a worse mark than that
So now Ilitch is ok with trading him? Doesn't make a lot of sense. who knows, maybe Prince's 0 RBI postseason or whatever helped Dombrowski compel him to move on
