I was being kind
....but that is my point....Clay is far from the only thing wrong with this rotation. Clay is being paid #3-#4 starter money, Beginning last year he was our #5 guy....so why he is all of a sudden supposed to be our Ace makes no sense....just because he's the only recognizable face in the rotation from 2013.
Porcello on the other hand IS being paid like an ace at over 20M a year....he's the guy we should be getting on to up his game.

Where do you find them? And The bullpen isn't exactly a strong point on this team either.....

But as is, I do not watch games when Clay starts, I will however have it in the background in the garage while working on things, just in case he miracles a win out of his rear end.
