    Jesus. At least they're close to the top of the order. Surely Dusty will pinch hit Vasquez for Maldy in the 9th, right? I would say he'd be crazy not to, but it's Dusty...

    Will Smith is definitely one of the pitchers of all time.

    We traded an average starter for him. That's a bad trade.

    That's exactly what I'm referring to when I say "stuff". You see a killer breaking pitch from this guy? It's just one fastball after another. He has no "stuff". Add to that he doesn't have Stanek's velocity.

    His curveball can be a devastating pitch when well-located. He also has a slider, but he doesn't use it too often so I can't really say how I feel about it.

    Worst era on the entire staff is just 4.02 (Maton). That's pretty amazing.

    If you think he's got a great curveball then so be it. That ends this discussion.
