Homer Bailey has been searching for consistency his whole career
Homer Bailey has been under my close watch ever since he was a stud in the minors. He was a top prospect on every minor league scouting site out there, five years ago. He was SUPPOSED to break out two years ago.
Well… that hasn’t happened and the fans are still waiting.
The problem with Bailey seems to be that he always has a nagging injury and he gets off to a slow start. Then just when you think he’s figured it out and he is on a roll, the season ends. Last year, for example, Bailey was headed to the 15 day DL for right shoulder inflammation, an injury that was seemingly minor that ended up taking three months to recover from.
In his four seasons prior to this year, he has failed to log at least 20 starts in any of them. In 2009, he posted a 6-1 record with a with a 1.70 ERA over his final nine starts of the season. In 2010, in his final starts 4-1 with a 3.55 ERA with just 19 walks.
