What Does A 5.66 ERA Cost?

[pitbull]

$4 mil for Francisco Lirian signed by my Detroit Tigers. Actually they miss having a Francisco on their team since they let K-Rod go last season. I keep saying to myself "The Tigers are rebuilding....The Tigers are rebuilding...." It is going to be a long road back.

Ouch. Is Matt Millen running the Tigers now?

that pool we have where we pick over/under wins with Francisco Liriano's ERA as the tiebreaker should be fun to read through

edit: there was an article posted up here which appeared to seriously suggest that Jays should consider bringing him back as our 5th starter ... thankfully nobody aside from the author took it seriously.

signed for his CONSISTENCY!

5.66 ERA in both the first and second halves of 2017
xERAs of 5.12 and 5.20

"Difficult to see how this ends well," as The Baseball Forecaster book put it in December

on a brighter note, they have him improving in 2018 from a minus $8 valuation to a minus $4

so he's got that going for him, which is nice

Fortunately, Matt does the BTN broadcasting and no longer do further damage. Not sure but if there is a HOF for all-worst GM of all-time but he would be the Babe Ruth in that category.
