Who cares if his walks are down? If his hits are up, that's just as bad. Bush won't hurt your WHIP??? What...are you gonna leave him in there to help your WHIP as he tragically destroys your ERA? In the immortal words of my good ol' grandpappy, "He's a bum!" Dave Bush’s recent two start week:

6.1 IP 13 HA 13 ER 2 BB 3 K

That’s an 18.47 ERA and a 2.37 WHIP

To me, those numbers kill ratios.

However, upon closer inspection of that 1.40 WHIP, it seems as if his command was still pretty spectacular. In 186 IP, he only walked 44. His WHIP is inflated b/c of his # of hits given up. I can't recall all of his games pitched that year, but it is safe to say that some of those 200+ hits fell through. I reiterate that he stinks, but he definitely is not a ratio killer as it pertains to WHIP. So, I will eat a small amt of crow for missing a key number in my argument, but I still stand by the fact that Dave Bush will not hurt your WHIP. Fair enough– guess I missed that.

True, he has had a decent WHIP in his other years, but his mid to high 4 ERA in those years hasn't helped his cause either. Right now his WHIP is at 1.31 and if he continues to pitch the way he has in his last 5 starts, it's only going to get worse. Same goes for that 5.31 ERA he is currently sporting.

His ERA certainly leaves a lot to be desired, but he is known for his (albeit hittable) command. This guy is averaging 3 BB/9 -- Johan is averaging 2.6/9 . . . I certainly wish he wasn't on my squad b/c he is so unpredictable and just awful, but with a WHIP sitting at or around league average AFTER his last 5 starts -- I wouldn't call him a ratio killer.
