I know this isn't exactly saying CERA

but I don’t believe much in catchers helping pitchers. Especially since Arencibia is such a bad defensive catcher

I think this article is talking about JPA helping instill self-confidence in Romero more than anything

I think its about the tipping point between getting advice and taking it. I know we like to overlook intangibles at the major league level (because in all fairness they’ve been proven not to mean much), but I strongly believe in the power of good teachers, and the right advice at the right time, when it comes to the development of everybody, athletes/non-athletes alike.

Can't wait for some October Baseball.

Pat Hentgen talked about how good it is to have a catcher that knows when you need a kick and when you need a pat

I do think there is something to finding a personality that you click with.

I only hope Kyle Drabek has that kind of resiliancy

I was coming out of college, high draft pick and a lot of expectations, and I had never really failed and I think I needed that. I’m so glad, I’m so thankful that I failed in double-A, because it made me the pitcher I am today."

Every one in the bigs has this moment. In many cases success or failure is based how they respond.

In honor of the Jays 2nd Baseman who played with fire in more ways than one.
