Bronson Arroyo

I just wanted to add one thing about the Bronson Arroyo trade - I have heard so many Arroyo boosters say that he was clutch or that he had "stones". This impression comes mainly from two things - his fast start with the Red Sox (after getting picked off the waiver wire in 2003 Arroyo had a 2.08 ERA in 6 games for the Sox) and the fact that he was the guy who hit Alex Rodriguez that set off the "smell the glove" fight between him and Jason Varitek.

Fact is Arroyo was just 3-2 with a 7.41 ERA in the post-season. Arroyo may have "stones" but he's not exactly clutch.
