- He has a trick shoulder
- Said shoulder could totally explode at any time
- Said shoulder never gave out last season, despite several prophecies of doom and destruction
- Even with the injury, he is a very good pitcher, worth roughly three wins over a replacement-level arm
- .268 BABIP in 2005 looks like a fluke
- .278 career BABIP makes it seem less flukish
- Loves Seattle, fiery attitude, good in the clubhouse, yada yada yada
- Isn't the best pitcher in the bullpen, leaving higher-leverage innings for guys like Soriano and Sherrill
