Definitely appreciate your 'responsible' characterization of Elias' upside .... his curve ball is beginning to CONTROL righties and DECIMATE lefties. (It's to lefties that he Cuban-slots the arm angles all over the place and the hook can be in, out, or middle and draw a garbage swing.)
Looking at the kid right now, can you see any reason he couldn't some day have some years as the C.J. Wilson of 2010-11? :- )
Wilson at one time had a near-Bedard level curve, a 91 MPH fastball, a BB rate falling from 4 to 3, and a nice sense for moving the ball around the zone. Wouldn't bet you anything I was afraid to lose that Elias didn't cop a $75M deal one day.
But yeah. Health and IP prevail.
