Imagine if Jonathan Albaladejo had an ERA of 5.95.
He probably would be ridiculed by fans on his way back to the minors.
Imagine if Joba was 35 years old instead of 25 years old.
His 2010 season would herald the end of his career.
Imagine if Joba performed this poorly as a starter.
The fans would clamor for him to become a reliever.
So why the disconnect between perception and reality?
It's amazing that once minds are made up -- once a reputation has been established -- they simply don't change despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
