This is still collateral damage from the last regime. They left the farm system relatively barren and the new GM has had no money to replace anything.

ask the dbacks, they will tell you he is ready, giants too. he has a tuff assignment with braves next start. lets see if he can rebound and bust hitters inside with big FB and bewilder hitters with sharp curve, slider, and the occassional changeup. i like that he is learning up here, will be ready to hit ground running in 2013. i have said before i will be thrilled with a .500 record this yr and a 4.00 era.
