Madison Bumgarner(notes) was a hard-luck loser on Monday, allowing two unearned runs in seven innings against Washington. In our Sunday night live chat, his name consistently popped in the questions queue, most everyone wondering what his deal was and if he should continue to take up roster space.His Yahoo! ownership is hovering around 50 percent, so many of you have already decided to cut bait. If you are one of those owners, it’s already time to reconsider. First off, he’s been unlucky to this point, with a BABIP among the league’s highest, and he’s been uncharacteristically wild (about two more walks per 9 IP than his career rate). But, on the positive side, he’s throwing harder than ever and he’s coming off two very impressive outings – combined 13 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 14 K. Only 21 years old, he’s got a lot of room for growth and I would quickly get back on his bandwagon if you jumped off in April.
