<div class="description"><p>Another arm to compete for the back-end of the rotation certainly can't be a bad thing. For some reason I thought he was much older than 32... seems like he has been around for a long time.</p></div>

<div class="description"><p>Paul Hoynes turns the wayback machine to 1991, when the Indians went to arbitration with both Greg Swindell and Jerry Browne. Swindell's acrimonious hearing was the impetus for John Hart's innovative concept of locking up young players up to or even past their free agent eligibility. </p>

This of course is in reaction to <a href="http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=15992" target="new">BP releasing PECOTA</a> today. Other than humor, it seems the point of Brisbee's article is to show that the PECOTA comps are not always perfect and/or reasonable, which made me feel much better after seeing that Santana is either John Mayberry, Joe Torre, or Chris Iannetta.</p></div>
