Jeff Stevens has been pretty fucking good in the pen.

Yeah. That 7.36 ERA in 7.1 IP has been fucking phenomenal.

Coming from the guy who is saying that DeRosa and his .222 avg and .276 OBP has saved the Cardinals? Stats aren't always your friend.

Up until yesterday, Stevens WAS really good in the pen.

Convenient that you left out his .500 SLG and 8 HR. Stats can be your friend if you use them correctly. And if you think DeRosa is going to continue hitting .222 with the Cards, well...you're probably wrong.

My point with Stevens wasn't that he has sucked with the Cubs -- it's that it's too early to tell (7.1 IP). And that he's unlikely to make much of an impact anytime soon.
