Perusing former big leaguers as one does and Jose Guillen fascinates me. A freak athlete with a ridiculous arm, he was utterly terrible for the first few years of his career. From 1997-2002, he had -6.1 fWAR, easily the worst of any player over that stretch of time (next closest was Neifi Perez, -3.8 fWAR).

Then from 2003-2005, Guillen produced 10.0 fWAR and had a 124 wRC+.

Funny how this game works.

There will be MLB.tv coverage of the games today with the Pirates broadcast available, along with the Pirates radio feed.
