In his celebrated 2006 season, Carlos Silva issued seven unintentional walks and also hit three batters for ten net walks allowed of 749 batters faced. That's 1.34% of hitters.
Another walkless performance from Cliff Lee last night puts him at four unintentional walks and zero hit batters of 305 batters faced. That's 1.31% of hitters.
Cliff Lee also strikes hitters out, works fast, smiles and isn't Carlos Silva. He also isn't going to be a Mariner for as long as Silva was.

Makes sense.
We’re more of a Carlos Silva team than a Cliff Lee team anyway. =(

No, we've been a Carlos Silva team. Now we are a Cliff Fucking Lee team.
He’s only here for a short while longer, but we had him. GMZ got him for us. I will die when he leaves, but we are now the kind of team who can get Cliff Fucking Lee. GMZ will get someone shiny and good for us again. GMZ will never give us another Carlos Silva. We aren’t that team anymore.

It's too bad you won't be alive to see our newfound success

I feel bad about that, too.

It's okay though since most of us won't live that long either.

:( indeed.

We could end up with having Milton Bradley as long as Carlos Silva, though, right?
RIght?

I hope he gets traded to the NL
Drew_D - June 19, 2010
Yeah
The Yankees will have him next year, obviously, but I hope he goes to San Francisco or Atlanta or somebody like that.

Can I nominate this as a dead meme? Please?
Jeff Nye - June 19, 2010
Seconded.

Confused. What is this regarding?
Talking about him being on the Yankees?
MT Olson - June 19, 2010
Probably talking about every high profile free agent becoming a Yankee.
I agree with Jeff.

I keep forgetting about how astonishingly little he walks people.
Easy to take for granted.
