I’d say he’d be a 5th starter in triple A. Sounds serviceable to me. This team is a joke!

Ambigious general adjectives are code word for “suck”.

You’re correct. It’s never good when your GM is using terms like “innings eater”. That’s right on par with “he’ll take the ball every 5th day”. How about “he’s a gamer”? These are among the many terms used in the offseason in baseball by uncompetitive teams who have to sign guys from the bottom of the barrel yet try to convince their skeptical fanbase that they are really trying to compete (when we know they can’t or just won’t). I feel for the fanbases of teams like the Royals or Pirates.

Royals fans use that term a lot.

My guess would be the Mets, themselves in an attempt to light a fire under Pelfrey.
