I don't think Jeff was speaking of a goofy delivery or 100mph as comparsions because level of success as either or both of those guarantee of nothing in the Majors. Am I wrong to say that he had suggested Pineda's success coming from good, consistent pitches?Maybe Pineda's arm falls off this year, maybe he gains strength and suprises everyone. Every pitcher is one throw away from problems and every pitcher is different, even when they appear to be similar. Soriano had only pitched a short time before TJ (converted outfielder). Agree about the slider but depends on how it is thrown, how often and the pitchers conditioning and gentics. Plus, remember how everyone was critical of Bedard's fatigue and injurous arm. Now coming back, he is a hero. I don't hear people jettisoning him to the bullpen?
