That’s hardly a terrible contract. Soriano and Zambrano yes, Dempster eh. Fukudome, def not.

I agree, though. The CUBS are terrible. I blame it on giving out terrible contracts to the likes of (in decending order) Soriano, Zambrano, Dempster, and fukadome. That money could have been spent on fielding a decent second basemen, shortstop, and thirdbasemen for the numerous times a year ramirez is injured. A very poorly run franchise

He goes on to look at the eight cases since 2002 where pitchers displayed such increases and looks at the year after to see if there is a regression. In all but one case, Ryan Drese 2004, the second year groundballs went down. We’re talking names like CC, Johan, and cliff lee.
I could say something snarky about wins being an antiquated metric. Instead I’ll just leave it at when we look at pinero’s peripherrals, there is good reason to beleive this year is an aberration.

That’s funny. When I was writing the All-Fantasy Bust team, I couldn’t believe how many Cubs could have made the list
