I dont believe he said better. He said more talented.
Which I really dont think you can dispute. 6'6, consistently mid to high 90's, reaching 100, with a knockout curveball?
There is definite risk with pitchers, not just HSers. But in terms of pure talent, Giolito is a cut above. Even Kershaw. Doesn't mean he'll have the big league success of Kershaw, just means he's got more talent. I dont think anyone would say Kershaw is the most talented pitcher in the league.
Exactly.
No sane human being would claim Lucas Giolito is better than Clayton Kershaw on July 12th, 2012.
