I'm also concerned about his stamina getting through a tough 20-30 pitch inning without tiring at the end and giving up a multi-HR bomb on a hanging curve ball. We haven't really seen him do that yet this spring either.Socnorb11 wrote:vinsanity wrote:Disagree...here is the concern:GatewaySnayke wrote:I think the concern of Wainwright as a starter was never really warranted.He hasn't proven he can get 18+ Major League Outs yet.Fan_In_NY wrote:I've never questioned his ability to get 7-12 outs, its getting 21 or so every time out that worries me.
Bingo.
He can get hitters out once, but what about when he goes 2 or 3 times through a lineup? Does he have enough in his arsenal to keep them guessing? I'm not convinced.
