Yeah, so with Volchko and Segura, maybe they're more believers in the long run.

Okay.

But I think they're going to get every opportunity to develop as starting pitchers.

With both of them, it is going to be that walk rate.

How are they handling the control and the command of the pitches?

Can they get their walk rate below 10%?

If they can, I think they can stick as starting pitchers.

But if they can't, well, then ramp them up, add some more velocity, and these guys would just be a headache.

for right-handed hitters both of them generate so much side spin they just create havoc especially with the sliders and cutters i mean volchko throws like a 95 mile per hour cutter that's just a devastating pitch that he has in his arsenal in a perfect world i think most sox fans and most major league baseball fans at this point expect a number one overall pick out of college to be up the following season in this new world that we're living in but

It's a lot of 90, 91 mile per hour fastballs.

He did not see the type of velocity that you do see in the major league level.
