But would Derek Lowe have been better if he'd tried high fastballs instead of low sinkers? Derek Lowe couldn't compete on a strikeout basis, he topped out at 8 for 1 season as a reliever. Say he could have been a 7 K/9 2.5BB/9 and given up 17-22 HR/Season instead of 12-17, would he have posted a better ERA? Been healthier?
