Bryan LaHair MLB OPS+ rank: 3
Ian Stewart NL OPS+ rank: 84, out of 93 official qualifiers (he's replaced Soriano as the Cubs' worst)
Ryan Dempster MLB ERA+ rank (minimum 1 IP/team game): 1
Chris Volstad MLB ERA+ rank: t116, out of 118 official qualifiers
Team defensive efficiency (NL rank): .720 (1)
That one's not improving today.
I thought he deserved better than he got in his first few starts, but it's getting harder and harder to see much hope with him. He keeps giving up runs, and with every successive start, his peripherals drift closer to his rather mediocre career norms.
About the only good thing left to say about him is that even with the GS allowed today, he's only allowed 3 homers in 39 IP. But that's way out of line with his career rate also, so things look like they're as likely to get uglier for him as they are to get better.
