his secondary pitches are absolutely weak, and get tore up most of the time.

I remember a long time ago, I wrote about how Yu Darvish was an excellent pitcher, but his secondary pitches were going to get him in trouble. People shitted on me, saying I had absolutely no fucking clue what I was talking about, then he absolutely got destroyed in the postseason.

Cubs have a nice starting rotation, so we'll see if it pans out.

Good luck to Yu Darvish, and hope he can stay healthy.

True. I take my comments back. I like Darvish, he's also a very stand-up guy helping out communities and even opening free summer camps for kids who can't afford it.

But I will say this once again. He needs more consistent secondary pitches. The Mets rotation in 2015 relied on fastballs and it clearly didn't work out or some pitchers became injured. A mix of both gives a clear cut advantage.
