True, and I see Os games a lot because Im near baltimore but Jimenez misses are nowhere near Cabrera misses. Cabrera is a comedy of errors on the mound when he's off, he's like rick vaughn and Nuke LaLoosh. Jimenez's fastball just kept running to far in on righties, Cabrera always bounces 45 ft. fastballs and curveballs,or tosses heaters to the backstop.Jimenez flashed some average-plus feel with his curveball and slider (especially his slider), and some good control with his running fastball. Classic case of being young and not knowing how to control his sharp movement.

I'm gonna be honest, this is the first time Ive seen Jimenez throw live, and it reminds me of the whole Carmona "stuff" argument. Jimenez's raw arsenal is CLEARLY better than Carmona's, and is one of the best I've seen yet this season. He needs to work his changeup in a bit more. This guy could win a Cy Young
