I don't even want to think about some of the bloated contracts we'd carry if Jocketty was still here.

What do you think has been the change in his performance in Cincy? The talent there before he was hired or his ability to develop a minor league system? |

Jocketty did what he usually does. He made mostly good trades and scoured the bargain bin. Trading Hamilton for Volquez was a massive blunder, but he eventually turned Volquez and Alonso (his first draft pick) into Latos. Cincy was an excellent job to step into, but who has he really added to that team through the draft? Cingrani? He hasn't changed anything about his approach.

Does he go 6-7 innings. 3 hits, 1 run allowed?
Whats the over/under?

That said, don't expect him to be Shelby Miller. He hasn't missed a ton of bats in AAA, and there's no reason to expect him to do so here. That's why DJ wanted him to stay in Memphis. Until he learns to make a breaking ball an out pitch he may scuffle a bit with big league hitters, as he's not a sinkerballer or a flame thrower. He needs a third pitch, and right now he doesn't have one. Hopefully the Royals' BABIP luck dries up today. I'd be content with 6 IP 6H, 1BB, 4K and 2-3 ER.

We don't need him to be a #3 or higher this year. Just learn and get that damn breaking ball to the major league level. Ask that guy in the locker next to you for some tips.

I think he goes 6, with 5 hits and 2 maybe 3 ER's. This is the perfect line up for him to start his first game against to ease him in the majors. Have to agree with hamas though I wouldn't expect him to be on Millers level.
