Chris Britton in 2007:

7.38 Hper9, 0.44 HRper9, 8.56 Kper9, 2.21 BBper9, 3.93 K/BB, 1.07 WHIP

Yankee relievers not named Mariano or Joba in 2007:

8.35 Hper9, 0.87 HRper9, 6.37 Kper9, 4.92 BBper9, 1.30 K/BB, 1.47 WHIP

So why is this guy still in Triple-A? Oh that’s right, he’s sleeping with Mrs. Cashman.

Evidently Chris Britton doesn’t fit Torre’s model of The Perfect Reliever.

The Tanyon Sturtze mold hasn’t failed him yet!

…not to mention the fact that he had one full season of being the primary set-up guy in Baltimore last year, and did a pretty damn good job of it. I’m as flabbergaster as anyone on this one.

kinda off topic, but i cant recall any hitter even making contact with one of joba’s sliders. can anyone?

i remember kevin millar grounded out on a breaking ball, but i’m pretty sure it was a curve, not a slider. pretty freakin amazing.
