small's earned run average

Aaron Small has a high ERA right now.

In 2005, Small had an outstanding 10-0 record and a 3.20 ERA.  He filled in holes in the Yankees starting rotation.

How long will it take for Small to return to form?  Last year, his achievements could have resulted from the regular appearances, getting into a rhythm, really feeling the weight of the situation.  Coming in for relief, potentially in dangerous situations, isn't his strong suit right now.  He should be a starter.  When push comes to shove, there are a few starters (Jaret Wright, Randy Johnson) who right now deserve to be shoved for the kind of pitcher that Small was in 2005.
