Derek Holland to debut this week (1 Viewer)

[E-Z Glider]

Saw this guy's name thrown around A LOT as a potential breakout for 2010. He was rushed and struggled last year. He is dealing in AAA so far with a 0.93 era and 37/7 K/BB ratio. Going to be starting Wed or Thurs.

Against Gio Gonzalez and the A's.

Nolan Ryan loves this kid.

I've had him rostered on and off for two years. Some of the sharks saw his talent in College.

You were one of the EXPERTS suggesting a breakout that I referred to in the first post.

Just giving Finless grief. IIRC he fired up a thread on this kid last year.

Yes, better than all three. Blanton is solid but not much upside.Ervin still doesn't like he did his one big year. Wolf is pretty solid.But a guy like Holland can really rack up the strikeouts. His main danger is he was prone to the long ball in his previous stint. And Texas isn't a stadium that is forgiving in that aspect.I also prefer Leake to all of those guys.
