He's come back. I don't know how much better he can throw. Tough, experienced playoff guy who is chomping at the bit because last year he didn't get to be involved. It's his year to shine. Good as it gets second half. Negates the running game with his pickoff move. Fastballs, cutters, curves, location ... he's really thrown good. He's a horse.
Again, health issues. He's pitched a lot of big playoff games for Oakland in his day but wasn't a winner. Fastball and splitter, and another good athlete. He's been there. He's pitched in this environment. As the game goes on, if he extends himself too far into the game he can wear down. Then it goes to the bullpen and that's been the bugaboo.
