 the strength of the pitcher and have you keep pitching to your strength. Not to your weakness. And so Heflin seemed to thrive in his first year with the Rays last year when he went 16-8. Career high in wins and innings and strikeouts. He was one of the best pitchers in the American League. He rocks and deals and a fly ball foul out of play to the left. Now it hasn't gone as well this season.
