Like Donovan, Fearnow started four games this season - but they were at the beginning of Tri-City's year, where he posted a 3.00 ERA/1.20 WHIP line. I'm not sure of the circumstances, but Fearnow was then moved to the bullpen, where he flat-out struggled (just go back and look at those August appearances). Of Fearnow's seven appearances in August, four of them were 2+ ER outings - which will kill an ERA. Only once did he get out of a game without allowing a run, and he walked two batters in that game. So let's go ahead and slide Max back to the rotation.
