2002 Odalis

[Doughhead]

I was just looking at Odalis Perez's career numbers. Am I the only one who can't remember him putting up the outstanding numbers that are listed for his 2002 campaign?:

15-10, 222 IP, 3.00 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 155 Ks, 4 CG, 2 SHO. He also walked just 38 batters and held opponents to a .226 average.

Wow. Why do I not remember that? Any chance of him duplicating those numbers in the second half of this season?

I remember it...it was right after the Sheffield trade. I also remember being late on picking him up.

Sure, there is a chance that he duplicates those numbers for the second half (his arm sure wont be wearing down). However, I think that it is pretty unlikely. Also, injury is a concern. I would expect something more like 3.50 era and 1.15 whip (about last year's numbers if i remember correctly), and i think that is pretty optimistic.

I remember it well. Both of those shutouts were 1 hitters too. He's definitely not somebody who should be sitting on the wire, and if you want to acquire him, it might not be a bad time. While not quite as dominant as 2002, he was money last year too; he just received no run support.

Yes, I had him last year and remember the lack of run support well. It was truly unbelievable how many times he gave up one or two runs and got absolutely nothing from the Dodgers' anemic offense. (Even more frustrating was the number of times they scratched out a few runs, and even the win after he had left the game).

I have him this year (just picked him up to stash on my DL) and am really wondering if it is worth the frustration for a second consecutive year.
