MLB's Greatest Innovation?

Perhaps the greatest article/blog post I’ve read all baseball off season was penned(or typed rather) by the Brewers SB Nation poster

In his article, he discusses that the Nationals might very well be the worst team ever as far as starting pitching is concerned. His plan? Well, he found “a pitcher” that doesn’t strike anyone out, but also never walks anyone or gives up home runs. Using other statistics to estimate what the ERA of this pitcher is comes to 3.20. Sounds like a pretty good option right?

Well, I won’t ruin it. Read the Brew Crew Ball article for more explanation.

On the Cardinals homefront, the unrest continues, as Jayson Werth, who the Cardinals expressed interest in, has apparently agreed to terms with the Phillies. Werth wouldn’t have been a huge pickup by any means. He would have been a good bench guy/platoon option, but overall he’s only a .245 hitter career. Not exactly setting the world on fire, but at the same time, Cardinals fans(myself included) are ready for any good news. Even if it meant we were paying Suppan the 10M a year that most of us agree would be pretty silly.
