TheBigHurt Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sale just isn't fooling hitters. AJP kept calling for fastballs, even though you could see Moreland beginning to time him. I never would have thought I'd say this last year, but I think Sale has all the makings of a bust of a draft pick. His arm angle is terrible for facing righties. Hate to say it but I have had that bad feeling myself. Ohman can fill whatever role Sale had. Predictably, long relief is a concern. Humber will probably be that guy soon. I like that idea. I like it A LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 what's left to say about Tony Pena? don't make me post his stats over his last 10 outings, it's absolutely NOT major league pitching stats, it's more like what it would be like if I tried pitching tomorrow with my left hand what's left for this organization to see from him? he's done, period, STOP USING HIM. for the love of god, stop using him.

Seriously. The only thing he can do it throw the ball over 90 mph. That's the only difference between him and most of the fans in the stands. May as well dump him and bring up Harrell or something.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I don't think Sale's arm angle is the problem. He can't get the breaking ball over with any consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't get the breaking ball over with any consistency. But the concern is that righties can see that slider coming all the way. He used his change-up a lot more effectively last year.
