You can get with this...

SPORTING GOODS

Quick take your pick between these two pitchers:

Pitcher A: 2-1, 4.7 innings per start, 2.30 WHIP, 10.05 ERA, ~$7m
Pitcher B: 4-0, 7.4 innings per start, 1.08 WHIP, 2.73 ERA, ~$7m

Well, Yankee fans, pitcher B is Jon Leiber, who got away while the team was busy signing pitcher A, Jaret Wright.

The only good news for the Yankees is that Wright is striking out more than 2 times as many batters as Lieber. But he is walking about 4 times as many. The winner in all this (well besides the Phillies who have a 4-0 pitcher right now), is the Red Sox. They had trouble with Lieber, and would much rather face the wild Wright, even if they couldn't get hits with runners on base when the faced him earlier this year.

I tried to play this game with Zambrano and Kazmir but Blogger ate my post.

Short version. They both stink so far but Kazmir is 21 and Zambrano is 29 with a history of arm problems.

Conclusion. The Mets are idiots.
