Another setback for the Milwaukee rotation.

Yikes. And I actually had them as the favorite in the division. Looks like the playing field is evening out.

Per Buster Olney:

 

"One evaluator who saw Marcum's start on Thursday clocked his fastball at 86 mph. Not a good sign. Marcum has never been a power pitcher, but what concerns evaluators who have seen him this spring, beyond the velocity, is the quality of his fastball. "

 

Those of you who know Marcum's repertoire better than myself, how hard does he typically throw when healthy?

[Guest]

Pitch f/x has his fastball velocity at 87 mph his entire career.

[MWV]

Ok. So in other words, replace Olney's "Not a good sign" with "Not really a sign of anything".

There is only one Buster who matters, and that guy isn't that guy.
