Quote:If all i was looking at was a stat line I would say he is redeemable. Unfortunately for BBINT, I watch the games. The eye test is a total fail.


He has this ugly hitch in his long windup where the ball drops real low and slow, reminds me of Tebow passes, and that is his natural throwing motion, it is awful. You might be able to get him to stop doing that some of the time but eventually they always revert back to the natural mechanics, especially under duress.

The eye test this year, yes I could see that. But keep in mind he was playing with goofy Gus leading the way; he was told by Olson he didn't need to workout this offseason like last; and he was injured. These may have contributed to the dud year he had. And I don't know if correlation necessarily equals causation here but I found it interesting that with Marrone leading the charge he had two of his best games since the season opener. So bring on competition and give him his last shot. Do or die time
