Not true...Bally 40 games as a reliever at a 3.81 ERA with 56 innin gs and 62 K's compared to 139 innings that Perry had in Detroit. Now that organization knows how to give a fair shot! Like this year...I hope the give Detwiler his fair shot and start him all year long so he doesn't have to pitch while looking over his shoul;der all the time. .
Most of his innings were in mop up fashion. He didn't have consistent enough command to stick. Who is/was he better than in our current bullpen? This is the Majors, it's all about pitching while looking over your shoulder. If someone doesn't get it done they will get the boot to the Minors.
I wish Balester well in Detroit, hopefully he makes the team and does well.
