Some, amazing stats when a pitcher goes from American League to National league.
Jim Fergosi, from the Braves, said it was worth an entire run on your era.
Is it time for the DH to disappear? My thoughts, yes.
Philadelphia Phillies starter Roy Halladay, out of the AL East, is mowing down the NL as if he were a reincarnation of Bob Gibson. He's 5-1 with a 1.47 ERA, pitching three complete games and two shutouts. Carlos Silva was 5-18 with a 6.81 ERA the last two years for the Seattle Mariners. Traded for outfielder Milton Bradley, he is 2-0 with a 2.90 ERA in five starts for the Chicago Cubs.
The reverse
Javier Vazquez, a 15-game winner with a 2.87 ERA with theAtlanta Braves last year, is 1-3 with a 9.78 ERA for the New York Yankees
Los Angeles Angels' Joel Pineiro, a 15-game winner for the St. Louis Cardinals last year, is yielding a .320 batting average and has a 5.76 ERA.

It seems to be getting worse for some reason. Makes you wonder about Lincecum and how he would fare on the other side. There was a general feeling that Halladay could have a field day after having to pitch more than half his starts against the AL East in the past. There was certainly upside there and the Phillies were willing to pay to get it. Congrats to them.
