Agreed. Of course he is helped by the fact that homeruns aren't plentiful so far this year so that low movement isn't really killing him.
(Then again, my guy Harry Lyerly has pretty much the same low movement and was Pitcher of the Year in 1970, so this league has some history of being kind to low movement starters. Of course, this guy doesn't have nearly the stuff Lyerly has.)
I suspect he'll be a decent mid-rotation starter if that control gets anywhere near the potential that is projected. Unless the WPK experiences a big boost in power hitting. And if that screwball develops a bit more he will have a fine 4-pitch arsenal.
However it turns out, I just love stories like this in my fictional universe.
