Re: 104 mph heater?

But, for how long?

He's going to have a short career I predict. The Rangers have Neftali Feliz or whatever his name is, who throws 101...they're making him a closer.

Look how Joel Zumaya's arm has fallen off...of course, he's helped the process with Guitar Hero injuries.

I just can't see his arm lasting long with that velocity.

Rob Dibble was the first 100MPH guy I remember. It was dominant as a closer but still only lasted 7 seasons. If he was a starter...who knows how long his career would have been? But, I predict, shorter.

These flamethrowers just don't last long in most cases...so teams need to maximize their impact while it lasts.
