Both Broxton and Billingsley dont appear to have human legs. A Centaur comes to mind. I was hoping CannonShell would comment on their confirmation.  |
LOL..We both know the talent Broxton has, but he hasn't progressed at all (mentally.) The problems he has are the exact ones he had when he came in to the league a couple years ago. He should be a power pitcher reliever. Most of the time he isn't. He likes the finesse stuff,but if he gets hit a lil bit, then he has control issues. Then, he starts throwing the slow breaking stuff right in the fat part of the plate. This is not new. Crap has been going on 2 years now. He is a power pitcher that refuses to be man enough to go humm it past people. He virtually can't be hit if rares back and just throws that smoke. It has nice movement to it, too. I'll say it again. This individual is a disappointment to his maker. That's simply a fact. Anyone who pisses away their potential ability is a disappointment to their maker. On the other hand, Billingsley is slowly progressing. These 2 guys are the 2 that don't use their full potential. Most of the other guys that people think are gunna "come around" simply aren't good enough. Didn't Kemp look like an idiot on the pitch which resulted in him getting into a fight last Tuesday? Well, when you swing at something, and miss it by 3 feet, then you're gunna be pretty embarassed, and frustrated. When he has 2 strikes on him, he can't lay off that crap outside. Will he ever? Not soon. I can tell you that for sure. Saito is the closer until Broxton grows a set. That may be never. Saito has given up a run in an inning etc., but to who Fukodome? Thats a damn good hitter. He slapped something into right field. Saito doesn't just give up like this Cow, Broxton does.
