True, but never underestimate Dave Duncan's ability to shine a turd. Duncan couldn't do much with him last year. 34 IP, 7.41 ERA, 13/22 K/BB, 1.88 WHIP, 5 HR, .919 OPS against yeah his minor league numbers give no indication that he can be an adequate major league pitcher. 1.39 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 IP, 7 K/9 IP, worse than a hit per inning. everything about him screams "mediocre arm." That's the weird thing. He has a very good arm. Mid 90's fastball and pretty good curve. He just doesn't miss bats. He throws a heavy fastball which is why he's never had an ERA above 4 at any level. I don't really know what his problem actually is because he's got good stuff. He obviously doesn't have the upside or pure arm, but he's been Samardzija like in the minors with fewer walks.
