That might the better alternative to having him in the rotation, but
the better one would be benching him.
Yeah, I agree. Not sure I want him anywhere near a pitcher's mound. He
has a great skill of always pitching 'well enough to lose'. He's done.
I'm also tired of people getting all hot and bothered about his
'shimmnying'. Big freakin' deal. If you want that, watch Dancing With
the Stars. I want my team to have competent pitchers that can help nail
down victories...end of discussion. I don't care about how good someone
was in the past. Even when Cueto did manage to pitch well and do well
for the team, like clockwork he was always injured right afterward.
Super frustrating.
I also don't care about 'experience'. Who cares about 'experience' when
the skill level that is part of that is severely compromised? It's BS.
Experience is a good thing when it is accompanied by effectiveness.
I'd rather have really good talent with low experience than poor to
mediocre ability with experience.
