Steve Harvey'd
we also have that French troll looking dude and Chris Farley
Allard since he returned to Rome: 7 GS, 42.1 IP, 32 H, 11 ER, 11 BB, 46 K. Dominant, and he's going consistently 6 IP in just about every start, and 5 of those ER came in one start.
ETA: He works quickly, too. Effortless delivery. A lot to like.

He actually pitched well in his last start in Rome before going to Danville...
5.0 ip 3 h 0 er 0 bb 5 k
I didn't understand dropping him after such a nice start. Allard proved that last start was no fluke
Again, I'm not sure it was a demotion. I think they probably planned to send him to Danville all along, but he was ready before they started so they let him pitch a few in Rome first.

Maybe it wasn't a demotion, but dropping a kid a level when his numbers were bad sure seems like a demotion.
The Danville season hadn't started yet, and his numbers weren't that bad. Demoting a kid you decided was ready after 3 starts, the latest of which was good, would be bizarre. The far more likely scenario is that they planned to send him to Danville all along.
