For whatever reason...Banks is an interesting case. For whatever reason, he&#39;s always managed solidly average strikeout numbers starting with various AAA clubs, with good control, but somehow he&#39;s never managed to miss bats at the big league level.<br /><br />He doesn&#39;t throw hard, so perhaps this shouldn&#39;t be so surprising.<br /><br />At the moment, he looks to me like a slightly improved, younger version of Brian Moehler; he&#39;d be more valuable if we weren&#39;t already spending $3MM on his older finesse comrade. It&#39;s too bad we couldn&#39;t have simply rolled with Banks and spent that money on Felipe Lopez.<br /><br />I know, I&#39;m beating a dead horse on the Lopez thing.OremLKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09055428932245421163noreply@blogger.com
