    So glad the Yankees didn't get this guy (or the Astros.) I've been saying for awhile now that he was going to be terrible in the AL where lineups are deeper and hitters are much more patient.

    Crazy. I think most would agree that he's always been kind of overrated. Didn't think things had gotten this bad...like Rick Ankiel bad. Maybe he comes back as an OF'er.

    He's gotten progressively worse over the last few seasons. That last outing was just awful.

    Am I reading this wrong? He went to A ball? Or is that just slang for triple A?

    Wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a Rick Ankiel.

    Weird. If he had signed a long-term contract extension, I would blame it on that. But he looks like he's just lost it.
