While I understand that Anderson should develop more, I think we might have gotten a little ahead of ourselves on both of their counts.

Really I'm just glad he's turned it around lately. Blake did have a BABIP of .234 last year, so he definitely had some luck. Really I’m just glad he’s turned it around lately.

Going into this season, I had him on my mental list of guys to watch, thinking he could turn out to be one of our most valuable prospects. Last year, for JC, he gave up 29 BB in 63 IP, but only 37 hits against 74 K. A guy with more K than IP and a WHIP around 1.00 just has to be worth watching. The numbers this year have been horrible (75 BB in 107 IP), but he's still getting more Ks than IP, and for the season has fewer hits than IP. Plus, he's getting more groundouts than air outs this year, a reversal from last season. So, does anybody know why he struggled so much until recently, and how he's turned it around?
