Yeah I like Leone. His problem like most guys at the level is location. He has the stuff to be a seventh inning guy.

When I mentioned that McGee needs to throw more sliders and the stats seemed to prove it I was using the eye test only. His heater doesn't have enough movement to throw 100% of the time.

Leone IS the 7th inning guy, for the most part. Re McGee's slider, he doesn't throw it for strikes enuf to entice a swing. And, if he does manage to throw it for a strike, it's hittable. I agree it would be great if the Gyros had a totally dependable shutdown guy...but they don't . So....live and die with McGee and hopefully the offense can put up enuf runs that it doesn't matter....like the last two games.
