Jose Fucking Contreras. The guy is throwing 97 w/movement. For strikes.

He couldn't pitch in New York. New York = pressure. You better hope the problem was a combination of Mel Stottlemyre's inability to fix his mechanics, the stress of bringing his family over in a boat under cover of darkness and our general impatience. Because if it's baseball stress that did it (see: Kenny Rogers), he's cooked in the playoffs.
I hope he pitches well, though. I always liked him and was pissed off when we got rid of him. I felt like we gave up on him too early. (Big surprise that we did.)
