It just seems to fit better if i link it for people to view. It is less cluttered that way and much easier to discern.

Check out Chick's home/road splits.

Home

42 IP, 29 H, 3 HR, 14 BB, 39 K, 1.01 WHIP, .555 OPS, .241 BABIP

2.95 BB/9
8.23 K/9
0.63 HR/9

Road

29 IP, 42 H, 8 HR, 15 BB, 25 K, 1.97 WHIP, 1.029 OPS, 0.374 BABIP

4.66 BB/9
7.76 K/9
2.48 HR/9

Chick's home/road splits have been night and day up to this point. It's still bordering on small sample size, but it does raise a question as to why he struggles so much on the road.

According to that rotowire link, Chick had a busy 2005:

110.0 IP at Class A Lancaster
102.3 IP at Class AA Mobile
148.7 IP at Class AA Chattanooga.

That's 361.0 IP in 2005.

That's not right Chick has never pitched more than 150 Innings in a year.

ATLANTA - The Reds acquired veteran reliever Eddie Guardado from the Seattle Mariners on Thursday for minor league pitcher Travis Chick.

Seattle sent cash to the Reds in the deal. Guardado will make $6.25 million this season. The 35-year-old left-hander was 1-3 with a 5.48 ERA with the Mariners. He allowed 29 hits in 23 innings. He struck out 22 and walked 11.

Chick is one of the two pitchers the Reds acquired in the Joe Randa trade with San Diego last year. He was pitching for Double-A Chattanooga.

Guardodo saved 36 games last year and had a 2.75 ERA. His best year was 2002, when he saves 45 games for Minnesota.

Reds Hope Guardado Can Help Bullpen
By Jim Callis
July 6, 2006

For the second time in two days, a National League Central contender tried to shore up its pitching by adding a struggling veteran. After the Cardinals acquired Jeff Weaver for their rotation on Wednesday, the Reds countered Thursday by picking up Eddie Guardado from the Mariners for Double-A righthander Travis Chick. Seattle also included roughly $2.5 million to defray part of Guardado's remaining salary.

A 35-year-old lefthander who has made two all-star teams, Guardado lost his closer's role with the Mariners this year but will finish games for the Reds. Cincinnati had been using Todd Coffey, but he hasn't been nearly as effective as he had been as a setup man. Guardado's fastball, slider and splitter are average pitches at best, and he relies mostly on heart. That hasn't worked for him much in 2006, as he has gone 1-3, 5.48 in 28 games while converting just five of eight save opportunities. He has a 22-11 K-BB ratio in 23 innings, but opponents are batting .309 with eight homers against him. Guardado is making $6.25 million this year in the final season of a three-year, $14.25 million contract, after which he'll become a free agent. He has a career record of 41-55, 4.31 with 175 saves in 766 major league games.

Chick is no stranger to being traded after being included in deals for Ismael Valdez in 2004 and Joe Randa in 2005. A 14th-round pick out of a Texas high school in 2002, Chick has a low-90s fastball and a hard slider that's a solid-average pitch when it's on. His changeup and control need work, however, and he has leveled off since reaching Double-A in 2005. This season, he has gone 4-5, 4.61 in 16 starts at Chattanooga. He has a 77-36 K-BB ratio, .249 opponent average and 12 homers allowed in 84 innings.
