You really think he is going to do better than Stammen?

I wouldn't mind bringing Bally up but he's not going to be a lot better than what we got. Our starters have done well.

nobody is saying he's going to come in and dominate.  last year we saw some flashes from balester, but it was obvious he still had some work to do.  this year he's done everything they've asked: try and improve on pitching out of the stretch (btw he's probably got the best pick-up move in our system) and decrease the home run total (only 3 this year).  

i want stammen on the major league roster and to never see the minors again, i just think he would be so much more effective for us out of the pen.  long-term, i think balester makes for a better starting pitcher, imo.
