I could be wrong, but it seems that all three players have had an above-average first half of the season (relative to their career numbers) when they were acquired. Statistically speaking, that means they would be more likely to perform worse with our team... and unfortunately that's exactly what had happened. (To put it another way: We bought high on these players. )
But then the pitchers that we parted ways with are performing above par...must be something with the pitching coach...and now the backup pitching coach isnt any better
