My goodness: Darth Walker threw 8 curveballs. Hmmmm.....5 were for strikes. Only two got swings. So even if the three wide ones that he threw hit the dirt somewhere around Guadalahara (and fooled nobody) it would still be that 60% of his CB strikes froze bad guys up.
Deer in the headlights CB's Doc?
Darth Walker chucking JUST the heater/yakker combo is approximately Doc Gooden. Reminder: Until he totally sucked his whole career up his nose, Doc Gooden was decently good, in case you don't remember him. OK, maybe a bit better than that. From 19-21 he was basically The Death Star (if you don't mind me continuing the theme).
Give Taijuan a shuuto that utilizes The Force to travel at the speed of Kuma's FB, and then you may begin to have something quite unfair. Not that I mind, mind you.
Maddux and Gibson come most immediately to mind as guys who had that incredibly fluidity, balance, lightness and rhythm that Taijuan exhibits. Well, Bruce Lee too.
Is it too early to lay some Vegas money down on a Top 4 Cy Young finish for Walker? I've got a loose Benji Franklin or two, somewhere around here.
