da Philliezzz iz phokked...
Alfonseca one of few bright spots in PHI bullpen...The Phillies have recently turned around their slow start by winning 7 of their last 8 games. And while some of their earlier issues were with the performance of their bullpen, one of the players they have not had issues with has been Antonio Alfonseca. Alfonseca, 35, is tied for the most appearances by any Philly pitcher and is sporting a sub 1.00 ERA over those appearances. Unfortunately for him and anyone who has him on their fantasy team, his recent history does not support continued success at this level.
Year IP ERA Ctl Dom Cmd hr/9 H% S% xERA
==== == ==== === === === ==== == == ====
2003 66 5.85 3.7 6.9 1.9 1.0 34 63 3.64
2004 74 2.58 3.4 5.5 1.6 0.6 29 83 3.69
2005 27 4.98 4.6 5.3 1.1 0.7 31 68 4.24
2006 16 5.62 3.9 2.8 0.7 1.7 33 74 4.77
2007 12 0.77 3.1 2.3 0.8 0.0 19 91 3.76
Rarely is there such (shocking!) success based on such pure luck. So far this season just about everything has gone right for Alfonseca. A 19% hit rate and a 91% strand rate are the real reasons his real ERA is 3 runs less than his xERA. His Dom continues to be low as it was last year before being released by the Rangers in mid-June. His performance so far this year may earn him the opportunity to take on more important roles within the Phillies’ bullpen (suckers!), but his skillzzz deficiencies should prevent him from taking on any kind of role for your team.

Ummm, it's not just his recent history, it's also his distant, ancient, and prehistoric history not supporting his continued success at this level.
