Agreed. He is a two start pitcher this week by the way. He has owned the Angels and Drays in the past so hopefully he does well.
He's driving me crazy this year. Just when I think I've brought myself to the point of benching him, or getting rid of him, he turns in a gem like he did last night and I'm stuck all over again.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

Part of development... I wonder what his value will be next year. I think a lot of people will still overrate him based on his age and the superb season he put up in 05.

Oh I understand, I only wound up with him in one league, and it was only because I thought he fell far enough. Hasn't hurt me all that much, as I didn't draft him with high hopes. I have a staff of Clemens, Schilling, Webb, Chris Young, Verlander, and Felix. Needless to say that I had him behind Clemens, Schilling, and Webb, so he was actually my #4, maybe #5 when I grabbed him.
He's just been frustrating to own this year.

I think next year is the year he really comes into his own as an ace. Many young players have an up and down season when they first come into the bigs. (ie Justin Morneau last year) I doubt he has much more run support than he had this year but thats what you get from the M's.

Depends on the league. He has much more value in a keeper (where he will and should be taken fairly high) as opposed to a redraft one, where he should be taken latter.
