Verlander is a horse and is very strong through the trunk and legs, with a fluid delivery. Just the same, with some good bullpen depth, it would behoove Leyland to keep the 125 and more pitched games to a minimum.

Every study shows that a pitcher who is worked as hard as he was TWO years in a row suffers very high probability of injury and ineffectiveness in the third. So Leyland should NOT work him 125 pitches every game again this year. Perhaps a deeper bullpen will help.Kathleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00366165144169952385noreply@blogger.com
