Has Bronson arroyo always been this good?

Bronson Arroyo has always been a solid, yet average pitcher. You hire Bronson Arroyo because he is a middle of the rotation guy who can eat up 200 innings per season and will give you a pedestrian 4.25 ERA per season.

This season Arroyo has had a very good season because he is spotting his pitches better and he isn't giving up the long ball like he did last season. Once he cut down on the homers given up, his stats got better.

The people saying he's often bad are wrong. Every year Bronson is the guy you can count on to have an ERA from the mid 3's to the low 4's and simply be an innings eater. He's never been an ace, but he's always been a good pitcher. He had an off year last year after while struggling with mono, but other than that, he's a guy that any team would be lucky to have as their number three starter.

Has Bronson arroyo always been this good?

I remember he use to lead the league in home runs given up.

I think you can answer this question and take the 10 points!

Arroyo's biggest asset is his dependability. He's an average pitcher but can be depended on to be a decent number three starter and take the mound every fifth day.

No he was often sucky to average and only sometimes good with the Red Sox.

He is a very good pitcher.
