He's probably a year or so away but from what I read he has the best pure stuff in the system outside of Joba. His fastball was 93-95 and hit 97 pre-injury and has the best curve in the org. Also I heard a plus change with great mechanics. He just needs lost of time but from what I read he has frontline starter stuff. What are your thoughts? SJ44,

I hate west coast road trips. Can never stay up to the end. Maybe that'll be a good thing. :) You know, depending on where you decide the rotation starts, everyone is a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 starter!

Gotta go. Hope we win tomorrow with our 5th starter Wang on the mound. Doreen,

But I understand and share your frustration with him. The kid is an immense talent that is not hitting nearly to his potential. It's too early to give up on him though. Al,
