As a hitter, you have to try to hurt your team that much. I think Farnsworth will be fine. As we've been noting here, his velocity is down, and he looked great the first week of the season. He could just be going through a dead arm period. I must have unintentionally left off Minky when I saw his abysmal WPA. As a hitter, you have to try to hurt your team that much.

Farnsworth sucks, but his demotion last night from 8th inning to 7th inning is the sign of a good change. If Vizcaino continues to pitch well, Proctor gets back on track, and Henn's low number of K's doesn't catch up with him, then sure, Farnsworth could be gone entirely. Did you leave Minky off your WPA chart intentionally? Was his negative contribution incalculable? I expect to see some of these relievers shipped off for a more traditional 1B. I hate to be the Minky apologist, but he's not that bad. Incidentally, I was listening to the radio broadcast last night, and Sterling said the Yanks stranded 11, but the A's stranded 12. Settle down.
