Cristian Javier does not pitch deep enough to support a high strikeout total. He is averaging 3.8 innings a start over his last 8 and 7.4 strikeouts per nine — neither the rate nor the opportunity is doing much work, and he is usually pulled before a third look at the lineup. A total set off season averages will not know that.
