..... but does anyone here think Ledezma will end up being a good major league pitcher. He has good stuff and is having great results again in AAA. I really think that he would be better long term than Robertson and Miner and that really he should have gotten the chance before Miner (probably only didnt because he has run into some injury problems a little).

Long term I would like the rotation to look like:
Verlander, Miller, Bonderman, Ledezma, ?? I would like Zumaya there too but he fits really well in the pen.

I think that could give us one of the best rotations in baseball in a couple years barring injury.

Good Question

And it's tough to say whether or not Wil will ever become a "good" major league pitcher. He's still young (26 years old), and has major league experience. He's put up pretty good numbers in Toledo this year. It's just that his habit of giving up "big innings" may have put a sour taste in Dombrowski's mouth for a while - prompting him to look at other possible potential starters in the Majors (Miner, Tata).

I think that Ledezma will get a shot in the majors this season due to injuries on the roster, whether it be bullpen or in the rotation. I have a pretty good feeling that Wil Ledezma could be a good 5th or maybe 4th starter in the majors, but nothing more.
