His wife was raised and went to school just outside Boston. She WAS a Sox fan. But is no longer. I got to go to the wedding actually. Great time.

He did not exactly grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth (His father picked industrial flowers for a living). Everything he has, is because of Damon Oppenheimer and the Yankee Scouts, who sent him to the Cape Cod League, after they drafted him in the 17th Round. He had a major league type curve, that they had him start throwing again, after the University of Alabama made him shut it down (He even met his wife there). Because of this, BOTH he and his wife understand the opportunity the Yankee Organization gave them, and thus, will make the sacrifices necessary to justify their faith in him.

On one hand should he be allowed to develop as a LH starter? On the other hand, it it is hard to ignore his Joba-like month coming out of the pen.

He has stuff, this proves he has the work ethic. That baby face makes me wonder if he has the make-up but I think I have a new guy to pull for. Am I a homer or does it seem like the Yankees aren't getting credit for their bullpen depth this year? Mo, Bruney, Marte, Veras and mix in some of the young guys, Robertson, Melancon, Aceves, Alanbadejo and maybe Coke. Gotta root for this guy now. He has stuff, this proves he has the work ethic.
