Sandy...I don't think Beavan's BB rate is super-low in the minors because he has special command. I think it's low because minors hitters don't punish centered pitches in deep counts the way big leaguers do. I think when he got behind on hitters in the minors, he just centered pitches and got away with it. What I've seen of Beavan in Seattle doesn't make me think he's got Maddux-level command. But we'll see. He could be better than I realize.
