On Wednesday,
we wrote that Kei Igawa's numbers in the Minor Leagues were not important. What would be
indicative of his play in the Majors would be how he was pitching each hitter, how he was getting to that ERA. With the high curveball and the high and away fastball, he would be unable to produce in the Major Leagues. Well, we were right. Three innings, six runs and 11 hits later,
Igawa looks worse than he did last year. How did Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi not know this? The Tigers hit .550 off him last night. Who's the fat toad now?
