3-1 with a 3.06 era

Please look at 1st post

I know I don't have final say on this, but I'd like to voice my opinion

Yes these are absurd stats, but there are lots of guys that have put up insane stats and have gone to do nothing for the rest of their careers.

Now, saying this, that does not mean that he shouldn't get an upgrade, I'm just saying that if rstokes is looking for an increase to 95+ overall (which I don't think he is), there's no way I'd give it to him. I would probably give him a high 80s or maybe 90 overall, at best.

Not looking for 95 plus. Think sould be 88/90 or 92 unless he continues to dominate then adjust from there, or go back down if he flops.

Also think Armando Gallarraga should be 84/88 aslong as he continues to pitch well.

Yeah, Edison is a very good pitcher, and a very good prospect. He was the prize that it took to get Josh Hamilton from the Reds.

I would say Edison should be 87/93.

Funny, cause a lot of people were questioning the Reds' choice to do that deal. Not many people thought Volquez would succeed as he had a lot of trouble in the minors as well as the majors. They also had questioned his control, which still is a problem.

Wow, actually looking at it, he hasn't been doing all that well, he's just getting lucky (to some extent), has a 1.262 WHIP, which isn't that great... Huddy has a much lower WHIP (1.07) but has a 3.06 ERA.

I put in his stats and he came out to a 94. The only problem is, there's no way he's going to keep striking out 10.61 per nine innings and allowing only 6.52 hits per nine innings. The walks will come back to hurt his ERA tremendously as he drifts back down from those insane stats.
