wrong,
he is fooling hitters. he's just making stupid decisions (along with AJ, tonight) such as throwing a fastball on an 0-2 count with 2 outs...
he just doesn't have it, plain and simple. now, remember, jose contreras did not get his act together until being with the sox for a full year.
give him time, he's way more valuable than luis vizquaino and el duque
All you have to do is look at his WHIP for the last month or so. It's above 2.0. For someone with his stuff, that means he's not fooling a lot of hitters. His inability to avoid the big inning is still hurting him this year, and it's been his downfall in years past.
