mike sirotika 2?
considering Sirotka never played single game for us, i'd say we already got a fair return on AJ if that's your comparison...
I think the reality with AJ is that we took a .500 career pitcher (with some previous injury problems, coming from a team that produces and wears down some major starters) in as something of a project for Arnsberg - he's got the stuff, even when he struggles he's still throwing it, but he needs to learn how to pitch a little more confidently and effectively - i know, much easier said than done. As big of a dissapointment AJ's injuries were last year, and how deflating his only appearance this year WAS, he's still by far our 2nd best player, and still has the ability to go out and dominate any lineup in the majors his next start - he just needs to find consistency, and even his biggest detractors cannot argue that
