PrintJeremy Hellickson this season: 46.6 IP, 1.35 ERA, 39 H, 3 HR, 3 BB, 58 K. That's a 19.33 K:BB ratio. Words do not describe how amazing that is. Ryan Reid, also of Vero Beach, deserves a shot at Montgomery.

I'd love to see Davis in Durham.
But I think he still needs more time in Montgomery. No need to rush him, McGee, or Price. Let’s set a good pace so all our young studs aren’t hitting the bigs at the same time.

Hell boy will be promoted
When Price goes to Vero… I am calling it right now.

how fast does his FB run?
I want him to convert into a set up type pitcher if he can deliver that cheese.
Hello Kitty, #1 in your fantasy league. =p
He's not a fireballer
He throws a low 90’s fastball that touches 95. However early reports this year are suggesting that his fastall has ticked up and that he’s more in the 92-94 range, as opposed to the 90-92 range he was in the past.
He also throws a solid curve and change. His stuff isn’t spectacular, but it’s all solid and his control is obviously plus. Now it remains to be seen how good his command is, but I’d imagine that it projects to be plus as well. And that is a very valuble pitcher. He’s has some arm issues in the past, and he’s short (6’1”), but he’s a very, very good prospect. He’d be the #1 pitching prospect in many organizations and you could make a legitamate arguement that he’s our 5th best pitching prospect. The depth we’ve accumulated is absurd.

One more thing
There is never a reason to convert a pitcher who’s shown he can start unless it’s absolutely neccessary or if it fill the teams greatest need (see Joba last year). We have no reason to start converting our top prospects into relievers.

No rush
No need to rush this guy, our rotation looks great(with the exception of e-jax) John Jaso had unbelievable numbers in AA last year, and hes still there.Why? Becuase Navvy is doing good right now and Tampa is waiting to see if Riggans has what it takes to be a major league catcher
"Life is great, if you're a starter."
Actually Jaso is in Montgomery because the org wants him to play catcher more.
