Chris over at Capitol Punishment took part in an NL East chat over at the Baseball Analyst.
Marc Hulet writes the following sentence.
Matt Chico (91 ERA+), Hanrahan (70 ERA+) and Tim Redding (career 88 ERA+) are all probably middle relievers at best on other teams.
Notice what is sort of disingenuous about that?

A name so obvious, no one bothered taking it for three whole seasons.

Well...for starters ERA+ is a pretty bad statistic on which to judge pitchers from year to year.
But if you like ERA+ as a measure of effectiveness:
Sean Green (SEA) - 113
Aaron Fultz (CLE) - 158
Jorge Julio (COL) - 122
Tim Byrdak (DET) - 143
Kyle Snyder (BOS) - 124
These are all major league pitchers who threw the majority of their pitches before the 8th inning. Hm. Don't like these guys? How 'bout these guys:
Joe Smith (NYM) - 123
Ryan Madson (PHI) - 151
Chad Paronto (ATL) - 119
Renyel Pinto (FLA) - 117
All of these players pitch for teams in the same division as the Nats and also threw primarily in early relief.
Not every middle reliever is a shitty pitcher.
Oh.
Yeah also he mixes 2007 ERA+ numbers with career ERA+ numbers between the three pitchers.
