ORIGINAL: TJSweens Interesting stats. In 11 starts at Target Field, SWR has a 3.05 ERA. In 10 games on the road, he has a 5.89 ERA. He is a decent pitcher w/o dominating stuff. Radke like? Not yet. Not even close. Radke was an allstar who got too little consideration for how good he was in his day. SWR is inconsistent, young, and he's been battered far more often than he's pitched well. The jury is still out on SWR, but it doesn't look good for him. Brad wasn't great until his third year.....he was 24. SWR is really young yet. You may be surprised but his ERA is better than Radke as the same point. I watched him strike out a few last night with just average stuff and using location, change of speed, and direction...... Radke pitched in the toughest era for pitchers. Right at the peak of the steroid era. Radke’s career era was 4.22 This isn’t that big of stretch.
