Not as simple as you think when both of those lines were in large part due to 1st half numbers that are way out of their career norms. I think this is a perfect example of why using stats from just one year is a bad way to make decisions.So who would you rather have in a rotation? Ryan Dempster and his career ERA as a starter of 4.67 or Dave Bush and his career ERA as a starter of 4.44 Ray Durham is a career .277 hitter with a OBP of .352 Rickie Weeks is a career .245 hitter with a OBP of .352 You are what you are. You CAN"T say just because he had a good 1st half means he shouldnt be playing. Durham is the best option RIGHT now for this team.
