Tim Hudson will be wearing an Eliminator uniform from now on. He will step in and provide yet another punch to an already lethal 1-2-3 combo. When asked how Hudson felt about going from an ace of a staff to a number four man he said, "hey as long as we win I'm happy." Owner Matt Caskey says, "that's just the kind of winning spirit we need around here. Hudson comes at the price of young talent in Mark Reynolds and Kurt Suzuki, but lets face it, they weren't going to play over Atkins and Mauer. This trade helps, but we're certainly not done. I want my team to be the unanimous favorites to win any and every series."

This is a unfair, bogas trade. Well you needed the help anyways lol.
yeh i guess your just frustrated that you weren't involved in a trade.
I've approved this trade pending press releases from both owners.
Oh, and for the record, Hudson is arguably more ace-like than some of your starters and should be slotted #2, not #4. But what do I know?
well his stats from last season indicate otherwise. and i am under the impression that BARB is running off of last years stats. if this is not the case, please let me know.
What stats? You mean his ERA, compared to Young and Bedard? How about his innings pitched, complete games and wins, etc.? How many other guys in your division have that kind of track record with a mid-3.00 ERA?
I'd rather have a guy averaging close to 7 innings per start with an ERA in the three's than a guy averaging less than 6 innings per start with an ERA in the two's. Think about it!
big sigh. ill give you the stats.
Haren has a WHIP of 1.21
Young 1.09
Bedard 1.08
HUDSON 1.22
Lefties hit
.230 against Haren
.231 Young
.229 Bedard
.261 Hudson
Righties hit
.264 against Haren
.155 Young
.208 Bedard
.261 Hudson (hey he beat Haren)
Hudson does lead the team in IP, but id rather my top three pitchers go roughly 6 smooth innings rather than have my Hudson start every series when he can and go 7 and get shelled. Im not worried about IP. When Haren, Young, and Bedard are out there, they pitch better. Also, i new my pitchers wouldn't go 8 INN every game so thats why i drafted 12 relievers!!! To dig deeper in my draft i got these relievers for specific purposes.
Righties hit...
.157 Bell
.184 Moylan
.187 Guerrier
Lefties hit..
.157 Sherrill
.168 Feliciano
.172 Benoit
i guess SH has no response.
