just fyi:

wakefield: 57.1 IP, 3.14 ERA, 32K / 25BB, 5.02 K/9, 1.29 WHIP
tavarez : 42.2 IP, 5.27 ERA, 25K / 19BB, 5.20 K/9, 1.47 WHIP

man, you're right, tavarez may have pitched fewer innings, giving up more walks and hits per inning, and 2 extra runs per nine innings, but he DOES strike out .18 more guys per 9 innings.

Neither of those stat lines look very good at all. Doesn't look too promising.

Obviously Tavarez is toast, but Wakefield is a knuckleballer yo.
