Because he's not a good major league pitcher. Even if he has false confidence, even if he has heart, he only has mediocre "stuff." His 96-mph fastball is a total myth. His normal in-game fastball is a batting practice fastball. He has given up so many homeruns, it's comical. As long as batters lay off the splitters in the dirt, they will walk a lot and hit lots of homeruns ... a Contreras pitch just jumps off the bat.
Kernan compares him to Clemens? Like Contreras would be Clemens if he tried harder? Doesn't anybody even watch the games? Contreras might top out at Tim Belcher level, not Roger Freakin Clemens.
