Also, look at his splits last year (his second best season of his career).

The only parks his ERA was less than 3.00 were:

AT&T
Safeco
Dodger Stadium
Turner
Busch

All pitcher's parks except for Busch. Take him out of a pitcher's park and he isn't very impressive. He got destroyed pitching for the Pirates with an ERA over 6.00 his last 2 seasons. Put him in the AL and you are talking a very average pitcher with an ERA between 4 and 5 depending on which team you put him on.

So he's only good if his era is under 3?

Him pitching for the pirates is irrelevant. Do you not know his story?

Under 3 is really fricking good. Since AT&T is one of the five parks listed, that likely means that at least half of Vogelsong's starts totaled up to an ERA under 3. That is nasty.

What parks did he have between a 3 and 3.50 at? A low 3 ERA is a generally a good sign. Sub 3 is pretty much all-star level. A 3.37 or whatever he had is really nice. Every team would love Vogelsong in their rotation.

Also, stop being a tard and looking at his stats from years ago. He has completely revamped his game since returning from Japan.

Is Vogelsong as good as Cole Hamels or Kershaw? No, but he is not a bad option.
