Printthis guy was a flat out stud back in 2004, putting up a sub 3 ERA and along with a fantastic k rate. He also did all this at the tender age of 22. Since then hes had almost one and a half terrible seasons capped off by his start last night agaisnt the Dodgers. He almost walking one guy an inning, and his ERA is in the 6's. Can this guy get back to the way he was in 2004? Should he be sent back to the minors or should he be allowed to keep getting battered at the major league level? Do you think the Pirates would consider trading him and would there even be a market for him?

velocity and control

Control, control, control
I still think he's got ace potential if he makes an adjustment. His slider is still among the nastiest pitches in the majors...he's regained a little velocity and he's still average to above-average in that department. If he can adjust to his new stuff and find some control (or if he's injured and gets healthy) he's got a chance to be an ace again.
