I knew the Giants were sinking in the bay like the China Syndrome (look it up), but I did not expect to see this:
Tim Hudson is now 1-7 over his last 10 starts with a 4.76 ERA. Now 8-9 overall, he was once 7-2 (duh) and looking like a steal for the then-first place Giants. Now, maybe it looks like the right thing that the Braves did not give him the two-year deal he sought (and got from San Fran).
See, not all of Wren's decisions have been as dismal as the Uggla/BJ two-headed monster.
He is getting old. Think he has battled nagging injuries too.
There was a lot of gnashing of teeth over not signing Huddy, considering his hot start.
Tim's ERA is that high over that period due to two really bad games, but it is still under 3.00 on the year. Plus his record is 1-7 mostly because of lack of run support over the last while. In fact, Huddy's last 5 losses include 4 quality starts among them proving that.
To sum it up, Wren still looks bad here despite Rico's assertions to the contrary. It isn't all about how good Huddy is as a pitcher either, we also miss what he brought as a veteran on a young team.

Anytime an old player has a rough stretch people assume they are done. Huddy had a rough start last year then was lights out until his injury.
I would call SF this winter if I were Wren. It would bring back the leadership this outfit needs.
LOL.
His ERA is still good and he's had a couple really bad starts in that stretch mixed with very good ones. He's fine, the Giants on the other hand, are not.
