But you're going to get more systemic analysis here than anywhere else around, I think it's fair to say...
We've diced Beavan's template to a fare-thee-well ... my complaint is not that he couldn't run a 4.0 K rate (or even a 5.7 K rate, if he leaps a plateau) up to a 100 ERA+ ... my complaint is Beavan's upside scenario vs. the pitchers he is competing against...
I don't think Beavan is part of ANYbody's next pennantwinning rotation here, yours or Jay-Z's or anybody's. My complaint is about the way the placeholding is dragging out.
