Answer 1

An indpendent league pitcher going to AAA? That is virtually unheard of. He aint the Natural they dont just jump on the sceene & dominate that quickly. They gotta earn it.

Answer 2

i have no idea what the astros gm was thinking, i mean, hes almost acting like he is an a pennant race getting randy wolf instead of prospects

Answer 3

any solid pitching would help the astros. seems like he could go to AA or high single A. i don't think a pitcher from the IL could go straight to AAA
