3:1 K to BB ratio, 0.93 WHIP
Forget about the wins column, those numbers are outstanding
He's ready.
I don't care how ready he is, we'd better not bring him up until at least next season.
Preferably the next...

He already signed a MLB deal.Quote:

RICK PORCELLO UPDATE
1-3, 1.35 ERA, 4 starts, 20 IP, 16 K, 8 walks, 8 runs (only 3 of which are earned), has hit 3 batters, and has a 0.90 WHIP
things to point out
- he's getting absolutely NO run support
- he's getting absolutely NO defense support
Also, Jeff Larish & Mike Hessman each have 5 HR's apiece in AAA
^ I could care less about the run support or defensive support. Not a dis there Wilfredo and I'm sure you pretty much agree. He's there to learn.
