In his Bio it actually says, best attribute-"optionable"

That's hilarious! I like him even more now!

[Crazysilver03]

Seriously, guy gets traded to a new organization which probably tells him they want him to make the following 15 adjustments, pitches 15 or so lousy innings in spring training where he is deploying those adjustments for the first time in a setting that is for all but a few players less about results and more about learning and getting ready, and people completely write him off.

Gets back to AAA, results start mattering, gets back to his comfort level for pitching and what do we see...relative success. Sustained success will be based on whether those adjustments are successfully integrated into his routine, windup, etc.

Before you post how terrible he is, stop, reserve judgement, and wait until a fairly significant evaluation can be made in the new environment.

You are peeing into the wind. Unfortunately there are plenty of fans that will bemoan any move that isn't a headliner because they don't understand that it's not just the major league team, but an organization to build.

I was thinking about this last night. We have 6 farm teams and the majors, 7 X 25 = 175 players DD has to sign to fill up every roster. Boggles my mind.

Got shelled tonight at Norfolk. Didn't watch (wTchinh O's and Nats) but yikes....

We need more SP depth and bad.

For the 3rd consecutive outing, Despaigne started the game with 6 shutout innings.
