I'm not sold on Detmers - he looks like batting practice every time I've seen him. I'm wondering if he turns out to be another Heaney: looks good every other start, good peripherals, but gets hit hard. A #4, in other words.

You can pretty much say this for every pitcher that's come out of our system since Weaver. We still have yet to hit on anyone for more than half a season.

at least Adell is looking more comfortable

Well, I'm more confident in Sandoval being a solid #3/3.5, although he technically came out of the Astros system (go figure). Rodriguez will be good if he can stay healthy. Richards never recovered from his injury, but had that one really good year and another pretty good one.

I'm sure Detmers will be fine--he is just 22 and has barely pitched in the majors--and probably a good #3-4, but I'm not expecting more.

Maybe if he learns to locate his FB things will improve for him

Two crap starts back to back against a weak team. The Angels are frustrating

Defense hosed Detmers

He just seems like a low margin of error type - like Bundy. And probably Heaney, who always had great peripherals and would pitch a 7 IP, 10 K game every once in awhile, then suck for a couple starts. Detmers just doesn't seem to have any out pitches to rely on.

This is just not a good team. They have good players but constantly make mistakes and have a manager that makes incredibly frustrating decisions.

Seems like the standard for pitcher development with this org

I like Detmers and I have hope he will be a solid #2 but wasn’t he advertised as someone with really good command of his pitches? Or am I wrong on that? 
 

and Warren sucks. The clock is striking midnight in this guy.

2-0 leads is not the angels friend

He has 8K’s in 7.1 innings. Ultimately he needs his defense to make plays behind him as much as anything else.

He has good control, but awful command. 

He can throw strikes all day. And that's the problem.
