Jason Schmidt

His game last Sunday evening was another stinker.

Is he done? All reports this week center on his decrease in velocity, and Schmidt's statements about having to learn to pitch differently. I do not know what to make of this.

I do note nothing is reported about him being injured, though.

He pitches tomorrow, and here is the dilemma. If he pitches poorly, he can be had cheaply as the suspicion he is pitching hurt solidifies. If he doesn't, then he may not be obtainable for much less than full value and that is a lot.

RJ's velocity rebounded vs MLW this week after being gone for the first two months. Will Schmidt's velocity reappear?

Looks like another "quality" start by Schmidt. 4 runs, 6K and 75 pitches in 3 innings (and still going). That shoulder of his must still be toast.
