Balta1701 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 04:17 PM) On a good team, I think he's more like a 4/5. Hard to imagine him having an ERA in the 3.5-3.7 range for another year or so. Why? His fastball velocity is almost already recovered and frankly his offspeed stuff has been as good or better than before the surgery in some games. The things missing are consistency with the offspeed and consistent control. Those will take, obviously, innings to get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We keep saying so-and-so is a 3/4/5 on a mythical "good" team. The John Danks of 2008-2011 is not as poor as 3 on many teams, including some good ones. What we have now is to be seen, but I'm extremely encouraged.

The things missing are consistency with the offspeed and consistent control. Those will take, obviously, innings to get back. Just based on the history of pitchers fully recovering from shoulder surgery. With that said, his stuff is so much better than we thought it would be heading into the year. His main flaw has always been his lack of command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his main flaw has always been that he never had a pure strike out pitch other than the changeup. That's the reason why he never took that last step.
