Dusty Baker Insults Floridians, Maims Pitchers
Written by wrigleyville

This story is chock full of goodies from Dusty Baker, including his insistence that Edinson Volquez must "cut down on his pitches" without acknowledging that he may play some role in doing so.

And then there's this:

Volquez pitched winter ball and there are questions about him running out of gas. Baker couldn't disagree more.

"Bob Quinn (former Yankees, Reds and Giants GM) told me once that pitchers usually rust out before they wear out. Latins guys who I've seen play winter ball rarely have arm problems — Julian Tavarez, Luis Tiant played winter ball somewhere every year, Diego Segui. Japanese pitchers throw more.

"Almost all foreign pitchers throw more than American pitchers," he added. "Rarely do you hear anybody say some American pitcher has a rubber arm."

Bronson Arroyo was mentioned and Baker said with a sly grin, "He's Cuban." Actually, he was born in Key West.

"Close enough. Key West is as close as you can get to Cuba," he said.

In related news, Dusty thought Mark Prior was Mexican because he was from San Diego, which is "as close as you can get" to Mexico.
