Chien-Ming Wang's Extended Spring

Chien-Ming Wang has been everything but good so far this season. He's singularly lost three games for the Yankees through fifteen games. So naturally the Yankees do not want to pitch him against the rival Red Sox and are going to skip his start. So if you're not doing anything for a week in the big leagues what does an MLB pitcher do? Apparently go down to Florida and throw 7 innings. Huh?

So let me get this straight. You can be on the active 25 man roster and both not be on the team but actually start games for a different team within the organization. That must have been a solid pitch. He Wang, you suck, go to Tampa and start against some little leaguers and then maybe we'll bring you back or maybe we'll just put you on the DL and bring up someone that doesn't have an ERA of 34.

The worst part of all of this nonsense is that not only did he have to go down to Tampa and pitch against scrubs, but he still managed to give up 5 runs in 7 innings. And to prove he was facing scrubs, Wang struckout 11 batters through 7. Wang has never struckout 11 batters in his 5 year career in the big leagues.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
