He says when he locates, he does fine with just the fastball and the slider. Possible he's just on the defensive, but I don't see the aversion to forcing him down to AAA for a while.

Not yet, but maybe it’s needs a little more time (like a whole season of failure). And Singers an idiot if he really believes ‘you don’t need a third pitch’ to be successful as a major league starter. I can count on one hand (maybe two) the number of starters that have been successful utilizing a two pitch approach long term and those guys were basically all elite and HOF type pitchers. Brady isn’t in that stratosphere (at least not yet). You can get away with that as a reliever, but not as a starter long term.
Brady needs to wake up.
