Everyone reading a blog like this remembers Luis Mendoza; mostly not for good reasons. His entrance into a game usually meant (1) a blowout situation, or (2) a game about to become a blowout situation. His parting from the Rangers was a joyous occasion, I imagine, for most Ranger fans (or at least for me). He's now giving up gopher balls for the Royals, and noted Royals blogger Rany Jazayerli offers this tidbit on what Mendoza brings to the table:
"Luis Mendoza has a career 8.32 ERA in the majors. He has a career 4.67 ERA IN TRIPLE-A. He has a career 5.06 ERA IN DOUBLE-A. I could pull out a host of more advanced statistics, but really, does anything more need to be said? He sucks. The Royals have nothing invested in him. Designate him for assignment, and if by some miracle another team claims him – count your blessings."
We Ranger fans are indeed counting our blessings in this regard.

ReplyDeleteThomas, good to see you've stopped by. I'm going to be writing small posts, such as this one, from time to time, when I have the time. We'll see what happens; I don't want to say I'm going to go all out and then get busy and have the blog go inactive again. You are welcome to keep posting if you'd like (Jon, you are too, if you ever read this).
ReplyDeleteall right, cool, i may post something once in a while too
