It makes me look forward to the time in my MLB dynasty when he comes into the league. I am really hoping he has a longer career in it than he did in real life and that he becomes one of the real stars of the dynasty.

That would be fitting, for him and Fernando Valenzuela, 2 pitchers who had the tiger by their tail and phenomenal rookie seasons (and maybe Vida Blue?)! Maybe Rocky Colavito will still be slugging them for the Cleveland Blues!
