If he can throw his FB anywhere around the plate, with his change and slider he's a TOR guy. Everytime I watched him throw last6 year I was impressed by his simple-classic motion and an unflappable attitude. Barring injury, Felix, ERAM and Iwakuma might be as good as any 1-2-3 in the league, outside of Detroit.
Doc, you were first in on a certain injured young Yankee starter. First all in here, too.
I'll stand right behind you in that line. Give him the ball. Put him in the #2 or #3 slot and sit back and enjoy.
Edit: Maddux was my favorite MLB'er for a long time. Is he the best RHP ever? Maybe. Probably, if you discount Clemens. But what I most remember about Maddux was that I always thought he was the best athlete on the field. He alays looked like he would be Stockton on the basketball court and Ashe on the tennis court. He probably was a very easy 4 or 5 handicap in golf, too. he moved with a rhythm that was smooth, but focused.
ERAM seems to have some of that easy athleticism. Was he a soccer player as a youth? Probably a goal scoring machine.
Remember Gretzky? He wasn't the biggest or fastest...but just the best athlete on the ice. maddux, too.
I get a bit of that from Erasmo. Exceptional athleticism.
