if you think his potential lies in simply his fastball than you need to educate yourself.

Needs to locate his pitches , a good change up is crucial in the bigs...needs 3 good pitches to succeed ,

But some never figure it out.

ya but im saying that there's no harm in having him in AAA. Let him be their problem, and if he turns out to ever find his potential like we thought, than good for both of us

To start.... but with his arm slot and hand speed he has great potential for a good breaking pitch. His problem was location of his fastball. You can't get to your dirty stuff if you can't throw strike 1. Gotta pitch off your fastball. He was never able to repeat his mechanics enough to paint fastballs

Now is the only acceptable time in this entire game to bunt.

4 pitch walk to leadoff guy, now lets get him across. No way Wash doesn't bunt and the pitcher can't throw strikes

The difference is between the ears.

You may be right.

But lets do keep in mind that Cotts is 34 and Kirkman is 27. There's still time for Kirk to put it together. Besides, it never hurts to have a hard thrower in AAA and he now knows that no team in baseball wants him on their ML roster. Maybe the shock value is worth something.
