NorthSideSox72 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 After being returned to starting mid-season, Shirek started off OK, but has since slid back to what he was doing last year. It seems clear the guy just doesn't have starter stamina. Look at his splits this year... AS STARTER: 4.97 ERA, .314 AvgA, 13 BB vs 20 K in 41.2 IP AS RELIEVER: 3.09 ERA, .223 AvgA, 13 BB vs 29 K in 35.0 IP Just make the guy a reliever and get it over with.

He'd make a great groundball middle reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) He'd make a great groundball middle reliever. I agree. He can throw 95 at times, consistently 93+, according to scouting reports, and has multiple pitches with good sink to them. He's always excelled at inducing ground balls, and he doesn't walk many guys. But he is a relatively small guy for that velocity, and has a high effort motion. And he really lives on 2 pitches, with a show-me third. Plus as I said, seems like stamina is an issue. I do really think he could be a solid middle reliever if given that chance, and I'd bet that is what they do for next year with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sinkerballers get better as they tire, not worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
