Britton's success hinges more on control (2.0 BB/9) of a primary pitch that moves like crazy. Higher velocity likely decreases the movement, if anything, and lower velocity certainly wouldn't impact the movement. It could even be helpful to have some of those sinkers hit a little further then the 8 feet infield choppers. I already addressed the need to add a third point, in fact I mentioned that as the single biggest concern, though he used to throw a changeup. I don't know if he would succeed or not, but I don't see pitch count or velocity as a problem, if he has the proper offseason routine. C.J Wilson would be an interesting comp to Britton, perhaps Shark to a lesser extent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-82493910604283524532015-09-03T13:11:37.585-04:002015-09-03T13:11:37.585-04:00He only has two pitches, and 85-100 pitches per ou...He only has two pitches, and 85-100 pitches per outing instead of 10-20 means he'd have to throw less hard as a starter, which would cause problems.Philipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-88127939536460471252015-09-03T13:06:23.211-04:002015-09-03T13:06:23.211-04:00I don't know if this is the right place to req...I don't know if this is the right place to request this, but I would love to see an article exploring Britton as a potential 2015 rotation option. I've been strictly against this in the past, but our rotation is just such a mess compared to our bullpen. I assume Britton to the rotation mostly hinges on his ability to resurrect a serviceable changeup and maybe improve his existing slider. Buck and Dan haven't given any indication that he could move back, but for some reason Jake Arrieta's success makes me nostalgic of SP Britton (who was actually a higher ranked starting prospect than Arrieta). We won't sign an ace, Tillman isn't an ace, Gausman isn't there yet, I honestly think Britton could be our best shot at having a dominant pitcher in the rotation. Again, am I crazy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-65474333149642469312015-09-02T11:09:04.512-04:002015-09-02T11:09:04.512-04:00I think every piece I have written since the All S...I think every piece I have written since the All Star break has been focused on the long view and noting why this season failed.<br /><br />I would concur that dedicating 100 MM + to Davis would be a monumentally poor decision unless the club bumped up payroll by 60 MM.Jon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-53817701344954898402015-09-02T10:37:02.900-04:002015-09-02T10:37:02.900-04:00I think we've already done a decent amount of ...I think we've already done a decent amount of that.
