The only pitcher worse than Ian Snell...

...was me in little league. How many batters can this guy walk? I'm waiting for the umpire to tell the batter to stay in the box - there is a walk/inning limit. Our little league cut it off at 4...could only help Snell out. My God, there are pitchers who's ERA's are lower than Snell's WHIP.

How long will I continue to start him hoping for a turnaround??? I pulled him this week and then read his BABIP was over .370...figuring the law of averages (and the average BABIP being about .290) I changed my mind and started him, figuring the turnaround had to begin soon...

It's time for coach Thompson to come out to the mound, tell him, "Good job, buddy!" and send him to back to SS, or even to the bench, so he can eat all the red swedish fish his family and friends bring him to the dugout fence.

As a Snell owner this makes me happy. At least he can't hurt me anymore on the DL

Snell may be headed to the 15-day DL after elbow irritation forced him out of Sunday's game, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

IF you have bad era and whip you cant play him.

I actually dropped Snell AND Randy Johnson this week in the main....I can't take them killing my ratios even with those K's. I'll let somebody else take a chance.

Ugh, I had no choice but to drop that fool. He can kill an entire pitching staff by himself, no matter who else you're rostering.

I just don't understand how some of these guys can make the money that they are making when they continue to go out and pitch like they do. Snell is a prime example of this. At least the Tigers sent Dontrelle to the minors.
