Or you destroy his confidence if he gets owned up here and he realizes how far off he is, plus alienate other more deserving players who maybe don't get a callup
A very high % of players are put on waivers..can't remember the number, but this discussion seems to come up every season. And a lot go through. I would bet that Estrada has already cleared.
My problem is is that Estrada's are the exception. Usually soft tossers don't get it done. I like to play the odds. That's why I always prefer velocity over craftiness. If you have both, then you're Doc.
