Bye-Bye Chacin...Here Comes Litsch
I like Chacin...
Well I did....I'm not saying that I don't anymore. It's just that well really for the last couple of seasons he hasn't done anything. Which is too bad because when he first exploded onto to the scene a couple years ago he seemed to be the next big pitching prospect for the Jays. Of course with injuries that was all put away into the closet.
Oh Well....
On the other hand...Now we have the tag team of McGowan and Marcum. I expect nothing less of these two for the oncoming season.
But that's not really what today's post is about. Jesse Litsch. Hopefully with any luck the Jays can really develop this fine young gun into a superstar. He has a lot of potential. But I feel like there is something missing. Something to be feared. When aces such as Dontrelle Willis or Johan Santana stare into your eyes you know they mean business. But Litsch seeems to be to much of a push over.
"But Stanton X he had a no-hitter going into the seventh vs the Reds!"
Yes he did...but again this is just spring training...and it was the Reds....
Now it sounds like I am hating on the boy. This isn't true. I like Litsch. He really deserved the 5th spot on the rotation. Anyone that thought Janssen or Chacin was going to get it is crazy. I just think that in the long run Litsch is going to get eaten alive unless he shows that he can be absolutely dominate.
