PrintCollin Balester is getting the call today to face the Florida Marlins in Florida. It will be his MLB debut. He has been solid enough in AAA this year going 9-3 with a 1.30 WHIP. He has a 3/1 K/BB ratio and has 64 K's in 78 IP. He has given up 14 HR in 15 starts, so it might be a problem in the majors too. So what do you guys think about him short term and long term? From what i read, he is a #3 long term. Right? How is his stuff? I haven't ever seen him pitch. And there is only so much you can tell by looking at numbers.

He isn’t going to strikeout many hitters and will have to rely upon his defense. He can ocassionally get a bit homer happy.
