Stat Line Of The Day

From their Major League debuts:

  1. Daiskue Matsuzaka: 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 10 K, 1 HR
  2. Hideki Irabu: 6.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 9 K, 0 HR


Pretty comparable, wouldn't you say?
Here's Irabu's career line: 34-35, 5.15 ERA, .272 BAA, 7.09 K/9, 2.31 K/BB, 1.40 WHIP
Hideki Irabu was overpaid, overhyped, overweight and out of baseball after 5 years. Let's take a look at Daisuke. Overpaid? Check. Overhyped? Check. Overweight? Check. Out of baseball in 5 years? I don't need a Magic 8-Ball to tell me that all signs point to yes.
