It looks to me like he's had some bad luck that has inflated his ERA -- he's got excellent control, though, which is usually the biggest problem young pitchers have when they hit the majors. Nova's the opposite -- not as highly regarded to start with and with a somewhat lucky ERA. I wouldn't mind calling him up, either, though. It's better than trading away one or both of them for some veteran rental.
