And we Braves fans love him, obviously.
For fantasy purposes, I wish he struck more guys out.
But as the year went along (and I have absolutely no numbers to back this up) it seemed to me like he VASTLY improved getting first pitch strikes and with locating his fastball well.
There were a couple games in July/August when he really got going... it's like he told every hitter he faced, "Okay, I'll even tell ya where the first pitch'll be... it's gonna be about 92-94 mph, juuuuuust above the knees, and on the outside corner. You can either take it for strike one, or nub it weakly over to Yunel... and I don't really care which one you choose."
