Tuesday night at the All-Star game, Max Scherzer pitched the bottom of the first.  After his one and only inning, he gave a televised interview.  During this chat, Rick Sutcliffe made a general reference to Scherzer’s secondary pitches and their development.  Now usually, in-game interviews such as this are bland,

We are long since removed from Ian Kennedy’s breakthrough 21-4 season with a 2.88 ERA back in 2011. Since then, Kennedy had an average at best season and this year he has been downright miserable, but still he is owned in over 60% of Yahoo! leagues.

For years, CC Sabathia has been the definition of a reliable ace.  Since his debut in 2001, the left-hander hasn’t pitched below 180 innings in a season.  And during the past seven seasons, he never ended with an ERA and WHIP above 3.38 and 1.23, respectively.  These numbers are usually
