Two years ago, this guy was supposed to be one of the best up and coming pitchers and the league.
Then he signs a long contract, and of course he sucks. That's the way it goes in Cleveland.
I just don't get it. His stuff is still nasty.
Every time I hear someone talk about his struggles, they say it is because his mechanics. He is supposedly throwing the ball too early, which makes sense because the ball always tails high and to the right.
The real question is.... Why isn't he getting better? Why isn't he improving his mechanics?
Is it just him refusing to listen or is too dumb to figure it out, or is it that our coaches are complete morons? Id have to say a mix of both.
It pisses me off and it is actually really sad. I thought we had a solid #1 of great #2 pitcher locked up for the next how ever many years. I should have known that if you sign a long term deal in Cleveland though, that you will suck (I am looking at you Boobie, Hughes, Stallworth, Hafner).
