You used a BS statistic to disprove that. Stevens HAS been effective, except his outing yesterday skewed his ERA. I showed you how I could also use a BS statistic to disprove one of your holy tenets. DeRosa has been more effective than a .222 average and a .276 OBP would indicate.
Although I will admit that you motherfuckers sure piss and moan a lot about losing a guy with a sub .800 OPS this year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The point is, regardless of how well he has pitched, is that he's pitched 7 innings -- certainly not enough to determine how awesome he's going to be. And again, I don't see him making much of an impact on the 2009 Chicago Cubs. As an aside (but pretty relevant to my point), Stevens will be 26 next month. That's pretty fucking old for a prospect.
How about this, BT? Instead of arguing around the perimeter of this discussion, let me ask you two questions, because I'm curious.
Did you like the DeRosa trade when Hendry made it?
Do you like the DeRosa trade now?
