probably not 10 games but the way he has pitched even without a dominating fastball the last three years, he'd probably be something like 16-8 this year, for sight better than the monster that was Pelfrey/Park/Sosa/Humber/Lawrence
maybe, maybe he effectst the looseness, but if so you'd think his presence this september would have been more than it has, this team has played bad, had bad calls go against them, played sloppy, had bizarro fortune in a bad sense, strange timing (Anderson game changing hits routinely pissed away)
