Thanks for the corrections.  Yeah I was mostly going on memory, so I was probably mostly just remembering those last few Tacoma starts.  
That curve back in 2007 was truly a Zitoesque curve (I guess a clarifying question would be if you thought Zito had an 80 curve back in the day).  You could tell the better a curve was coming, and he would still swing and miss, at times it was absolutly unhittable.
Yeah I saw that tweet.  I wonder if the new found promising change up is messing with his curve ball.  I am sure it is easier to stay sharp with just two pitches (FB, CU) then three (FB, CH, CU).  In fact Pitch F/X has him not throwing curves at all, it labels them as sliders.  Anyways, if he can get the Zito-like curve back to go with the decent FB and the very nice change then I think his upside is #2.
