I always thought Arroyo was way overrated in this city.

Oh, so the usual members of the Douche Bag Coalition are out? Yawn, let me know when Massarotti or anyone local that I care about rips it (FWIW, Gammons was practically hard about the trade in his blog).
It's amazing that these relatively major media outlets can't comprehend that strikeouts aren't actually a bad thing - and they might actually be good, preventing double plays at the bottom of the order and showing a positive correlation with both power and overall batter's value.
(This may also explain why, no matter how well we wrote or how much we knew, you and I would probably never have these guys' jobs - it's sick)
