It came as a shock to many (myself included) when Gorzelanny was summarily sent to Indianapolis during spring training.  To me, despite how poorly he had pitched last year, he had reached the point in his career where he either sticks with the big league club or turns into Kip Wells, but perhaps the minors are the best thing for him.  In an article at pittsburghpirates.com, I came across this wonderful tidbit:

When Gorzelanny does pitch again for the Pirates, which the organization certainly believes he will, he'll have a pitch at his disposal that he didn't utilize during a tumultuous 2008 season. After getting away from using his curveball last season, Gorzelanny has resurrected the pitch in Triple-A this year and with some success.

"In the beginning of [last] year, I tried throwing it and for some reason it just wasn't there," said Gorzelanny, whose strikeout on Monday included a nasty curve that Dunn swung through. "I realized that it's probably a good idea to get my curveball back and work on both of those. Things have gone well. It definitely expands my repertoire."

This is incredible.  He imagines that perhaps, after getting cast away like so much chaff to the murky deep of "organizational depth", he should work on bringing his curveball back.  I'm pretty sure this is what professional pitchers do:  tighten down their repertoire and drop some pitches because they are rusty at the beginning of a season.  So what has he been throwing?  Just fastballs?  I can see a reliever having trouble with a pitching and letting it go for a week or two because the team is doing well and he's pitching setup almost every game, but a starter can't just go out and wing a curveball in every time, especially not when you have the command of Gorzelanny, especially vintage 2008 Gorzelanny.

I guess perhaps it's not really his fault.  Just another young pitcher who pitched way more innings than the year before and then goes down in a terrible crash and burn.
