It is not uncommon, especially for pitchers, for a player who is tearing up AA to get called up tp the majors. Daryl Thompson has a 1.45 ERA and is striking out better than one per inning and for every walk he surrenders, he strikes out 6! I believe that's the definition of tearing it up. There's all kinds of talk about bringing up Homer Bailey, but I want to see what this kid can do. It isn't as if he's 19 and we'd be rushing him, he's 22. That's a pretty standard age nowadays for good players to join the major league ranks. This kid throws strikes and has gone less than 6 innings just once, and that was a 5.2 inning outing. Let's see what he can do.
