Originally posted by ArmitageI'm not. He's done extremely well since he got called up, and may be the key to not just getting into the playoffs this year, but over the next few years as well. I'm just wondering why he never got a chance with the stuff he had. He had a couple of bad outings over the years and teams gave up on him. It seems like he's showing what he could do now that he's actually had a chance. He is showing that he has some pretty wicked stuff.
The thing that makes Aaron Small so great is he doesn't try to blow pitches by hitters or strike them out. He paints the corners with excellent precision and lets them put the ball in play and lets the defense make plays and it works.
I think he even said something once like "I know I don't have the best stuff so I'm just going to do what I do best... let them put the ball in play."
Anyways he'll be a huge component of the bullpen in the playoffs if Tom Gordon gets the "October willies" again.

Re: Official New York Yankees Bleacher Creatures Team Thread
The surprising thing about this season.... with how insane the pitching staff has been changed around... we are tied for the 2nd most CG's in the AL with 8 and have the most Shutouts in the AL with 11.
Last season we were last in CG's with 1 and second to last in Shutouts with 5 behind the Royals.

This ump has an extremely high strike zone. Some of these being called strikes are clearly balls.Originally posted by CardsFan27This is the 3rd time John Calipari has been to his first Final Four!What I'm Currently Listening ToComment
