Originally posted by BigWeinerI got both of them. And I think both will be good. Just don't know if Gallardo will be good tonight. I hope so though. You can't strikeout 110 batters in 77 innings in a hitters AAA league and not be good. I've seen plenty of 21 year old pitchers make their season debut, and like I said, it's a crap shoot. They can over throw, meltdown and walk a bunch a batters. There's a big difference between AAA and the majors. Hope he does well for you Brewer backers.

I'd probably put Gallardo behind Hughes and Lincecum as young pitching prospects go, but ahead of all the others.
Other heralded rookie debuts this year:
NYY Phil Hughes vs. Tor - 4.1 IP, 4 ER, NYY lost 6-0 as a -160 favorite
Min Kevin Slowey @Oak - 6 IP, 1 ER, Min won 3-2 as a 105 dog
TB Andy Sonnanstine @Tor - 7 IP, 6 ER, TB lost 12-11 as a +210 dog
I think the key is the bullpen since these guys rarely last more than 80-90 pitches in their first start. Since Milwaukee's relievers have a respectable 3.73 ERA, that's good news for Brewers backers.
