BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
Basement Dwellers: What’s wrong with Bronson Arroyo? NOTHING! He has one bad start out of every six or seven which screws up his ERA! Bronson Arroyo is the solution to all the Yankees’ proble...(sudden dismissive hand wave - Diet Coke ascites retention alert) What I’m seeing here is a steady decline in his k/9 rates from mid-last season until now.

The Problem with Bronson Arroyo
Red Reporter —
... Yep, this another article about Bronson Arroyo. It seems like they are everywhere these days.
Justin did some good analysis at Basement Dwellers that I think covers the main concerns about Arroyo, so I'm not going to rehash everything he had to say. My concern here is not so much what is ailing Arroyo as what might be going through the collective head of the Reds brass right now. Let's take a look at some numbers: ...
