And obviously can never improve from his struggles last season. He could improve, but I highly doubt he will. Gut instinct, or do you actually have reasons? I guess you could call it gut instinct if you want, but from everything Ive seen of him, and taking his minor league numbers into account, I dont think he will ever be a servicable ML starting pitcher. I think he could possibly be a decent/good bullpen arm, but as a starter, I dont think he will ever be good enough.
