WHIP Explosion!

Wow. My pitching staff sure picked a great couple of days to totally explode. That, combined with Bill's trade with Kate, hurts a lot. The sad part is that there isn't much talent on the waiver wire, unless I want to be starting Alfredo Acieves, which might actually be an improvement on anything I have, as long as the Yankees don't use him in another spot start.

Am I sensing a little bitterness about missing out on the top keepers Spencer?

Spencer said...

indeed. i love how you guys preferred to get LESS of Teix/Felix et al and trade your top tier keepers with one month to go, rather than 3 months to go. makes 0 sense.

Honestly Andrew, there are much better headlines for this post.

I would have gone with "WHIPlash!" myself.

WHIPlosion?

I don't think it was the right move, but Upton's value has come down a lot from when you were dumping (he was spectacular in June, but fell apart again right after). It also helps that I netted a very valuable keeper (Lester, round 16?).

And Andrew falls into a 4 way tie for first in WHIP!
