Easily the worst pitcher in that rotation right now
Will be interesting to see if they even give him a playoff start, could be similar to Barry Zito situation in world series.
Better off starting Ogando right now

Might even have to put Oswalt back into the rotation
Dempster
Oswalt
Ogando
Harrison
Holland
That rotation can win in the playoffs

I still don't know why the front office hasn't sent him down to triple A
No question he has great stuff and potential, but he is having trouble putting it all together
They mention every game that the strike zone in Japan is different than here in the US. So why don't they send him to AAA for a few weeks to work on throwing strikes in the American strike zone so he can be ready in September/October?
And yet, no one can hit his 4 seam fastball. But when Maddux/Washington call for the slider, that's where he gets into trouble. Send him to AAA to work on the slider also.

AAA? He makes fukkin 5.5 a year and they invested nearly 108 mil in him.
2012: $5.5 million 2013: $9.5 million 2014: $10 million 2015: $10 million 2016: $10 million 2017: $11 million

Who cares how much was spent? It's clear he has mechanical issues, not talent issues, that need to be worked on. Isn't that what the minor leagues are for, development. Send him to AAA for a few starts to work on those things and call him back up in September so he is good for the pennant run.
He is unhittable when he is ahead in the count and throwing strikes. When he falls behind in the count and starts trying too hard to throw strikes thats when he gets hurt.

Fuk i hate the Sox. Lose to the Twins and wake up beat a decent team in the Rangers.
