Poor Bastard

I guess they had to come up with something to fill the slowest American sports week of the year. Adam Bernero got traded from the Detroit Tigers to the Colorado Rockies for a backup catcher. Bernero had only one win vs. twelve losses, and his ERA is a bloated 6.08, but he only got 2.5 runs a game from his offense (worst in the league), which made him one of the unluckiest pitchers in the game. Oh, talk about bad luck, is there a worse place for a struggling pitcher to be than Coors Field? High altitude might actually make that 6.08 ERA look good in retrospect. Good trade for both sides, though, as Rockies get a pitcher who's probably not as bad as he looks, and Detroit gets a decent-hitting catcher who's never got a real shot at the MLB level, and Detroit can use all the decent-hitting they can get.
