Blue Jays averaged 7 runs a game for his 13 wins. In 8 of his 18 starts that year he lasted less than 5 innings. Toronto wasn't fooled. A year later they had him back in the minors.


This is something I brought up when the deal was announced. Don't let the record fool you. The only reason he had that was Toronto scored 50,000 runs every time he started. At that point, I might have been 13-5. Hutchinson isn't a good pitcher and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention.

It was a weird trade, but it didn't bother me as mush as it bothered others.  McGuire is far away from being a starter.  Ramirez might pan out.  Hutchison is young and has had success.  Liriano was terrible and developed an attitude.



No team wants Jeff Locke in a trade when he will be released.


Saying that shouldn't give anyone much hope. My garbageman could be better than Locke for all I know. He simply was just garbage.
