Big time pitchers will however find a way to win a couple of extra games with grit when they don’t have their best stuff and by knowing what pitch to throw in certain situations. If there were to free agents 1) 14-9-3.10 and 2)18-7- 4.10 i”ll take the former over the latter.

If you remember management failed to give freddy a physical. How do you not give a guy about to get 10 mil a physical. Guess we’ll never know if gavin was jut a late bloomer or was vexed by the short porches or just needed a change of scenery. sure would love to have hammels-floyd-myers-blanton-gio with kk,happ,carasco waiting in the wings.

He won only 4 games where the team didnt score six runs . The history of the Phils is that they dont look
at these type of things. they are lazy about stats and do this over and over (see Eaton, JD Durbin)
Had Happ received Garcai’s starts and the respect he should of had off his Reading games maybe he would of not been hurt in the minors and progressed .
Hopefully Ruben will be more intelligent about his work

My opion is Gavin would not as succesfull with the phills. He looked really nervous on the mound. No one thought freddy was going to be hurt.
