IF, IF, IF... that can be said about a fair number of players who came out of AAA like bottle rocket , but when Major League pitchers adapted turned into fizzling fire crackers.
That mantra has been proven to be wishful thinking and nothing more; if that were true, gents who have been let go , after a lot of game, would have fixed all their problems and still be a Twins player.
Maybe they should do the reverse pitching scheme again, let the BP start so the runs come early and the starter can stop the scoring in the late innings
