"Worthy of consideration" as the Russian grandmasters say. :- )
Not sure exactly what's going on, but Langerhans did smash that lefty slider with great joy, and if it WERE the case that you were right here, it would probably be a secret the M's could exploit for a year...
You say, lefty sliders. What's your thought as to whether he could hit righty curves and sliders, too?
We mention Jered Weaver as the prototype of a guy who lives off his slider and who pounds the knees with a low (unimpressive) FB that would be right in a lefty's wheelhouse. What's your expectation in this kind of matchup?
