Underpromise, overdeliver.
KW always does the opposite. Should I bring back all the glowing reports on Zach Stewart when we acquired him? At one point last year, he was a "sure thing" to be in the 2012 rotation.
Sure, he can probably start out as a 5th starter...the point is that he was billed (along with Sale) as a future ace and rotation anchor for the future.
There's just been ZERO evidence of that happening so far, other than his BB/IP ratio.
I would be shocked if we see him anytime soon in the big leagues because the predictable failure will result in even more heat on KW.
I like your assessment on his pitches though. I thought he would get by with average all around pitches. Clearly he cant do that. He doesnt have that one reliable pitch he can always trust. Today none of his stuff was working and look what happened.
