Elarton faces the Yankees tonight in KC. This one should get ugly early. Before going on the DL, Elarton posted a 2-3 record, 9.17 era, 1.87 whip. Then, he went on 5 rehab starts in the minors getting shelled, giving up 21 runs in 26 innings. Yankees offense is on fire lately and ARod is 9-16 against him for his career. I really can't believe that the Royals could not come up with a better alternative than him, but this is who they are going with. Gimme Yanks RL and over. GL.
Yea, I saw his numbers against the Yankees. But, I don't think they are a reflection of the pitcher he is at this point. Did you see his TRIPLE-A numbers over the last month or so? Not interested in laying the -240 either, but don't think I'll need to. Hard to name another pitcher that is worse in mlb.
