There have been more than a few here who have been in love with him and even had him penciled in the rotation of the future.

Let's not get too carried away here.  Everyone knew his velocity was Livanesque, but his achievements merited a look in the majors.  Most of us have never seen him pitch before being called up, so there's a lot of interest in watching him throw, trying to figure out exactly how this guy with nothing can strike out nearly 10 batters for every one walked.  I am extremely interested in watching the guy pitch, but to say that means I have him penciled in in the rotation is kind of silly.  Perhaps you are referring to other posters, but I don't really recall such brash claims. 

But I will be happy to be corrected!    :P
