He certainly deserves a shot to prove he can be a back end starter at the MLB level. Good for him.

I wonder if they're guessing. My preference would be Hernandez, rather than rush Whalen past AAA at all.

Or more

I wouldn't dare suggest his ceiling is a #4 starter. If he throws a quality start tonight I can predict where the Whalen discussion will go!

Well he's not pitching tonight so...

If you take away his health issue time...he has been dominant the whole way.

I haven't seen Whalen at all. What makes him good? Does he have good stuff or just good control?

 

[TheBravos]

Has a great curve ball. Really no "unbelievable" stuff. He just gets guys out...a lot....

 

[UNCBlue012]

He's a true pitcher.

So who the hell starts this weekend in St. Louis? I've got tickets for Friday and Saturday, and would prefer not to watch De La Cruz or a bullpen game.

^^Yep^^
