I agree that he is overhyped but he is a very nice pitcher to have waiting in the wings...In 2004, he rose from Single-A to high-A to Double-A. He was very impressive at high-A and showed promise at AA. Last year, he pitched 119 innings of AAA as a 21 year old and had a 3.92 ERA with more K&quot;s than innings. Then, he finished off 2005 by pitching 67 innings for the Sox with an ERA of 4.03. The major concern I have in how he pitched in the majors was letting up way too many HRs (13 in only 67 IP). There is legitimate reason to believe he would probably be the least effective of the starters if given a spot in the rotation but he is not that much of a downgrade from Garland.
