And congrats on your 8-0 run to start SSI Smackdown.  Patriots undefeated season?  :- )

Your first couple of counterpoints though ... don't know how to respond.  It's as if you didn't read the series.  Should I paste it in as a reply?  ;- )

1.  What sense does it make (for us, through the video available) to even evaluate Hultzen's changeup, much less to say it isn't legit?
2.  Recommend you check Fangraphs on Hamels' average velocity.  And Bedard's, and the young Zito's.  90 mph is PLENTY for this kind of pitcher.
3.  The late-season delta is an interesting little snippet to try to counter the Bedard Syndrome with, but...
Why did Hultzen fan a bunch of guys in 2010, when he was 88?

I'm wrong about a bunch of stuff, but no way was I wrong about Pineda ;- ) and this one is also shooting fish in a barrel.  If Hultzen has 70 command and a 70 change, he's not going to need 93 mph.
