His stuff and mound presence are already impressive. Once he finds his pregame ritual, between game routine, adjusts to the sometimes tight strike zones (take that, rook) etc. etc., his command will be consistent and he'll be an innings-eater. In fact, if Redsock re-ran the ERA contest, I'd go lower.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275164807141705059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-30812008415351523032007-05-04T10:19:00.000-07:002007-05-04T10:19:00.000-07:00"I'm out."
