All of a sudden I’ve been brought back to the days of Ruben Quevedo and Jamey Wright tossing up a consistent array of doubles and gopher balls to the opposition when posting ERAs of 5.76 and 5.35 in 44 total starts and a combined 11-24 win-loss record.

Well, that’s gone to hell, since the great majority of his secondary stats have gotten worse and he’s become a replacement-level player (even against lefties, it seems now).

With the loss of Sabathia and (assumingly) Sheets to free agency, the rotation is going through a major change (and downgrade). [...]
