I prefer to dwell on the positives;
Nate Robertson Post ASB - 6.86 ERA
Kenny Rogers Post ASB - 10.97 ERA
Jeremy Bonderman Post ASB - 4.56 ERA
Lucky for them, Verlander has won 3 of his starts, and Miner continues to float above water.
Rogers is toast, but Im surprised about Verlander. I thought he would wear down in his first full season, but hes showing no signs of doing so. The thing is, I really cant see him staying this strong through a deep playoff run. Hes never thrown that many innings. And even if the Tigers do win the whole thing, we can hope Verlander and Bonderman get Buerhle/Garcia dead arm syndrome and that Liriano and Santana trip and fall on the same banana peel.
