You guys are crazy for ripping Balester. His first start was solid, second one was okay made the one mistake to Dunn, last night wasn't good as he relied too much on his fastball but also had sh!tty defense behind him which didn't help their cause.
He's freaking 22 years old and he's going to take his lumps. Everyone in the system - and others - as far as scouts/talent evaluators go, all said he has the stuff to have a very long career.
He won't be the ace, but he'll be a legit middle of the pack rotation starter with Lannan. Remember John Lannan had a couple outings last season where he gave up 4 runs or more.
Be patient.
