This is the first time I've really watched him pitch, and i know Minny's offense is paltry, but he's dialing up his fastball to 96 with an excellent curve as well. Through 6 innings he's allowed 2 H, 1 BB, with 3 K and 0 Runs. It sucks he pitches in the AL East and that his defense sucks. Still, loving this spot start so far.
I was just thinking this. If he pitched in the NL West he'd be even more hyped than Luebke.

In standard leagues there's no way people roster him with the ratios he's bound to post in that division, but I could see him being an excellent spot starter against teams other than NY, BOS, and TB if his stuff is typically as it was today.
