Homer Bailey...

John had a post asking: true or false is Homer Bailey is overrated?

I posted that he was.  I explain why in detail in this article:

Homer Bailey - Ace or Talented Underachiever?

My reasoning:

1. Performance doesn't really match talent.  

He has put up good/very good numbers over his career, but I don't think they have ever been as good as his overall talent says they should be.  Last year, he regressed and I don't think his injured groin was the only thing that caused his numbers to drop as he was struggling with his mechanics and displaying stuff that wasn't up to par before that injury happened.  I think there are consistency issues here.

2. Mental make-up.

There has always been a lot of noise in regards to just how committed he is, whether he knows how to actually pitch, etc.  He still a great prospect, but top-10 I don't think he is.
