So what if you have only two great pitches?? Did schilling or randy johnson have anything but two pitches??
Masterson has a good fastball and deadly slider and he was good enough to be 6-2 last year as a starter.
If they trade him that will be a huge mistake
yes actually, they did.
johnson had a great fastball, a filthy slider, a good changeup, and a good splitter.
schill had a great fastball, excellent splitter, a cruveball, and a good changeup.
just because thier not jamie moyer doesn't mean they had two pitches.
justin has, according to scouts, a plus fastball and a plus plus sinker. He also is trying to develop a major league curve, but so far has had limited success.
And no, i don't think all the scouts are wrong and he's going to be a starter. he's going to be a very good setup man/ closer. Its what he's best suited for with his stamina and pitch avaliblity.
as to trading him, i'd be opposed, but if its for something very useful (like a top tier catching prospect) then sure, i'd trade him.
Masterson is going to be groomed to take okie's job if he stays, which he will excel at.
