...I think we've got a good read on Fister.
1) Plus command of both fastball and change-up most nights
2) Fastball velo varies. When he is throwing hard, he throws more fastballs. When he doesn't have the live arm, he uses a lot more change-ups. This we would call intelligence, batman!
3) Speaking of intelligence...he's making adjustments to his gameplan and successfully executing them as he tries to combat his major problem...gopheritis.
4) I still see a Brad Radke/Catfish Hunter upside with Fister...and I still think any decision involving the rotation for 2010 that does not include starting Fister will be utterly and completely brain dead. And you know I'm less given to using that terminology than USSM or LL denizens might be.
