The point I'm trying to make here is that Pedro once had a
100 mph fastball with vicious movement and losing 10 mph from that heater makes him a far less effective pitcher.
Also, I'd rather take a guy that throws 100 mph like Billy Wagner who has a straight fastball than a guy who throws low 90s with a little movement. Both pitchers still needs something offspeed.
Different managing strategies here I guess.
