that seems to be the going rate for a guy who gets you 6 innings while giving up 3 runs and about 10 K.

Danks strikes out 6.6 per nine innings (and he usually goes about 6 which would me about 4 strikeouts)

More trouble with simple numbers for dolphin

I appreciate the attempt to capitalize on Rogue's angst though.

But the only time money should matter is if it stops you from signing players you would otherwise acquire.

Or if the guys you pay are horrible but the money forces you to play them ahead of possibly superior options. Not necessarily the case with Danks quite yet, but it will be soon.

I always chose Blanka. He was far inferior to Ken/Ryu, but he pounded his chest when he won.

No, you're right. I was using 'me' as a verb for Jon Danks.

understandable that you would be tongue tied while addressing your superiors

You're like Rick Ankiel right now. I hope someone is up in the pen.

You should probably stay away from words like superior.

Lester's FIP is 2.14

Good example of FIP not telling the story. He's been killed by singles the other way all year. But his K/BB and HR numbers are just fine.

i saw danks hit 91 with his fastball yesterday, if he can maintain that he can be a .500 pitcher with a 4.5ish era.... well worth 13 mil per right?

Blanka was a button presser fighter. Perfect for someone who didn't know how to perform any moves, besides for repeatedly tapping the punch button.
