And Back to Baseball

Check this line from the Iowa Cubs' game yesterday:

                     Inn  H  R ER BB SO ERA 
Raul Valdez (W,1-0)  7.0  3  1  1  3  4 1.29 

This was his AAA debut. Valdez is a 27 year old Cuban defector who was Pitcher of the Year in the Dominican Winter League. His first start was delayed due to a spring injury.

Could be a possible spot starter / reliever as the season progresses. I love the idea of bring in a guy that is essentially a veteran.

Follow him on the Future Watch.
