But I don’t think he has great upside, so I wasn’t too disappointed. He walked 20 in 27 1/3 innings. That’s going to make it almost impossible to be successful. In 2011 at Reading, he walked 44 in 65 innings. Again, close to no way that’s going to work. I don’t have huge hopes for him until he drops his walk rate enormously.

The guy who I think does he a really big upside is Aumont. He walks way too many, too, but I think he’s the guy with the real chance to be great if he can control his control.

Aumont can throw the heck out of the ball, if he is on the plate. He ought to be more focused and less easily rattled now. Or at least one hopes.

Stutes must be looking around and counting noses and feeling like he is going to miss the big club by one slot.

The guy who ought to be better than he has shown is Diekman. I wonder if he puts it together.

The guy I really wonder about is Bastardo. Will the real Bastardo please stand up.
