Chad Gaudin

[Pochucker]

Any thoughts on Gaudin? Starting to hear little buzz on other sites about Gaudin. Not as stud but as servicable pitcher with chance of mid three era.

This is all you need to know about Gaudin:

3 year average:

Pre ASB ERA - 3.75
Post ASB ERA - 5.50



Ride him while he is hot but get ready to dump him/trade him when July hits around.

This is all you need to know about Gaudin:

3 year average:

Pre ASB ERA - 3.75
Post ASB ERA - 5.50

Lets be a little more honest:
2007 (All 34 games came as a starter, 199.1 IP)
Pre ASB ERA 2.88
Post ASB ERA 6.30 (He was bothered by hip and foot injuries during this time. He had surgery during the offseason to fix them.)

2006 (All 55 games came in relief, 64 IP)
Pre ASB ERA 3.97
Post ASB ERA 2.10

2005 (he appeared in all of 5 games this year)
Pre ASB ERA 12.19
Post ASB ERA 16.88


Moral of the story, sometimes it pays to look at the numbers a little closer. Or just come to the Cafe!
Gaudin won't get you a ton of K's or anything but he a very servicable 3-4 starter.
