If thats the case with the fastball inconsistency I may feel different. But from everything I have read on him he has elite stuff. I would rather take my chances on a guy big arm and trust in coach's and player development staff to improve him mechanics. Rather then to draft another ''safe'' college arm whose ceiling at best might be a mid rotation starter and they never end up in the back end of rotation.
See Chad Jenkins, Deck McGuire, and Jon Harris. The only college arm in the first round that has actually worked out for us in recent memory is Marcus Stroman.
