Shouldn't you be in Michigan right now? I would think we had high hopes for our 2nd best overall pitching prospect...

Top pitching prospect by default but by no means a "top pitching prospect". Yeah he couldn't go 5 innings against washington, you're right that is a fact. But you leave out other facts like his 2 week layoff prior to that start, as stickguy pointed out. Humber projects that way because of Tommy John Surgery. Projections can change quickly. We'll see how he's throwing this year, if he's still a Met. Yeah because Kazmir was traded and nothing was left. Top pitching prospect by default but by no means a “top pitching prospect”.

I'll post them to see.. I think he's so young that it's the reason he has projection.. but also leaves lots of room for him to falter along the way...

The fact that humber was once a top prospect, and now projects in the mid to back end rotiation is not me trashing him, sadly it's just the truth.. and yes.. he couldn't go 5 innings against the last place washington nationals.. that is also fact.

Maybe we can trade them for a starting pitcher at that time .......maybe he will be the best left handed pitcher in the majors at that time ........maybe he will be under 30.............maybe he will be illing to sign an expensive 6 year contract...........
