Good post there Beaneater, and I especially love your signature.
Anyway, Wasdin's stats this year are:
2004 TEX 9 7 2 2 0 0 0 43.2 58 34 34 12 14 25 7.01 1.65 .319
He's started 7 gmaes out of 9 appearances, and he has a 7.01 ERA. No need to say this because its painfully obvious, but he sucks.
In his 4 years with Boston, wayback performed somewhat better:
1997 BOS 53 7 4 6 0 0 0 124.2 121 68 61 18 38 84 4.40 1.28 .251
1998 BOS 47 8 6 4 0 0 0 96.0 111 57 56 14 27 59 5.25 1.44 .288
1999 BOS 45 0 8 3 2 0 0 74.1 66 38 34 14 18 57 4.12 1.13 .236
2000 BOS 25 1 1 3 1 0 0 44.2 48 25 25 8 15 36 5.04 1.41 .273
I don't remember him too well, but he did show some promise as a starter. He obviously hasn't developed given his current stats. Our hot bats should destroy him, and Manny should come out of his mini-funk.
