Who here knows that this league is somewhere between AA and AAA? There are AAA AND Big League hitters from what I see in Mexico. The kid is 10th in ERA and first among all import pitchers. Why are people so quick to pass hate. He did struggle for us last year and the numbers were bad, but that is one year of many. He has had pretty solid years in AAA(especially factoring in his home field being Reno and Salt lake) and a pretty good track record before that. He also pitched well in hitter friendly park in AZ, and since he struggled out of the gate when he made the team in 2011 he really hasn't gotten another solid chance since. Obviously you need to earn that chance but we used him last year in quite an array of situations and the kid had a pretty short leash.
