Why give up, when you can rake in easy money whether you actually can pitch or not. I was a big Johan fan until he signed with the Mets since I'm partially a Braves fan.Originally Posted by koz-man
Got to hand it to him.
He will not give up...
He once had a devastating change up.only 70's he is going to have to ass about 15-20 to that
His fastball now has the velocity of his change up back in his prime.
The Orioles are basically taking a $3M gamble in this situation...
Ain't that the truth!Why give up, when you can rake in easy money whether you actually can pitch or not. I was a big Johan fan until he signed with the Mets since I'm partially a Braves fan.
I think the orioles are stupid for making that gamble, I cant see him Johan making it. Like SS said he change used to be unreal but when all his other pitches fell off he had nothing to set up with

Otherwise he gets the next-to-nothing pay the minor leaguers get.He once had a devastating change up.

As long as he can get 10-13 wins i think the orioles will call it a productive season out of him.I think the orioles are stupid for making that gamble, I cant see him Johan making it. Like SS said he change used to be unreal but when all his other pitches fell off he had nothing to set up with

I have a hard time picturing 10-13 wins from Johan especially when his timetable to pitch is around June 1st.
