Not sure I follow this. If the strikeouts aren't there, he'll give up too many hits, sure. But if they're there, as the poster you're quoting is hoping, he shouldn't. Unless you think he has a particular negative ability to control balls in play that basically no other pitcher has (stats show pitchers have very little control of their BABIP).
Just judging by the amount of hits he's given up in his career, there is something about his stuff that leads to a lot of success for hitters. I've also yet to see any real positive in-person reports on him since his first season.
