CM WANG. No. Just no. I will not sit here and let you DEFILE this space with your Wang Chung talk here. I did not throw out Josh Beckett at you did I??? CM WANG had one good year for the best regular season team on the planet, all the while DEFYING all logic with his non-existent strikeout totals and ludicrous .277 BAA. Here's a list of names who ranked higher than Mr. Chung in said BAA category: The immortal Claudio Vargas, Mark Hendrickson, Jarrod Washburn, Jeff Francis, and oh just for kicks lets throw Vicente Padilla in there. Coincidentally, who was #1 in this category you might ask? -My boy Chris Young with an absurd .206 BAA.

I am however willing to compromise on "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight" though; if somehow his deal with Lucifer hasn't expired and he continues to post anomalistic numbers while keeping his wins high and ERA low, then Ok we might have something here and crow will be eaten. Until then, keep him on the pine with Blister Boy Beckett.
1 last thing: Remember the New Years Resolutions of keeping the posts shorter. I know you can do it.
