A very reasonable take Champ ...
1. Noesi's LD% was over the course of what, 40 innings, and just a couple of LD's here or there (maybe flared over the SS) could be the difference ... we don't want to treat Noesi's LD% as established, that's for sure...
1a. That said, Noesi's slider has been mostly the culprit and that slider is admittedly a wrinkle ...
2. If Noesi's FB is up to 95-96 mph and his K rate is down, that is a common stage to pass through ... consider Justin Verlander...
3. That said, I don't think any of us think that Hector Noesi is going to the All-Star game ... whether he can gradually become Matt Garza is my question...
