Doug Brocail – 7.87 ERA – 10 Holds
Damaso Marte – 7.50 ERA – 15 Holds
Shawn Camp – 6.43 ERA – 11 Holds
Brad Hennessey – 6.35 ERA – 13 Holds
Kyle Farnsworth – 5.40 ERA – 15 Holds
Wow. Worse than Farnsie? Dat’s no good. It’s berry, berry, bad, my friends.
wait, didn’t you propse we trade Melky for him and it would be a steal ?;) (or was it some other nut on the NYYfans board i forgot)
~~~Note From Steve, here – since I cannot leave comments this evening – -
Yu Hsing Chen, I never said that. What makes you think that I did?
Judging relievers based on ERA is not the greatest thibg in the world.
Usually they only pitch 1 inning, so 12 great innings and 3 awful ones can end up making that persons ERA look worse than another pitcher who had 12 average innings and 3 good ones.
Game logs, please.
