His numbers are horrible. I have no idea how this guy could possibly stick.

Yuck!

Just wow. This is a guy on his way out of baseball -- not one who should be on a 25 man roster.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Wonder what they see in this guy?

Those sure are some bad looking numbers.
They must see something in him.....

They let go a dominating guy for a guy who can't get people out at all. I don't understand this at all.

My bet is they think they can change his fortunes by moving him to relief or something like the Dodgers did with Gagne.
Guevera been picked up yet?

Clearly they see something in the guy other than the numbers. They have access to the same stats, and there is no way to paint a pretty picture here.
I don't know what they see, but it's something, and clearly they didn't think much of Guevera. He probably won't make the roster, but by all means they may as well try him if they see something they like.
I'm just scratching my head here.

I get the feeling WK is trying to be too smart for his own good.
With Valenzuela, I could us offering him back to ATL and the Braves just letting us keep him.
