Our #1 pick in the draft, Antoine, is struggling, so far. There is some talk of maybe shutting him down early, but, Pitching Coach Kevin Hubert is against it. He thinks its better to stretch out the days between pitching so that Antoine can still feel a part of the team. He points out that he has had an excellent record managing the young pitchers in the organization so there is no need to apply star treatment as a precaution. Upper Management pointed out that Maximilion Schmit is one SP who has been out 3 months because of shoulder inflammation but coach Hubert says it had nothing to do with how often he pitched. Still, 129 IP in his first season is a lot in the eyes of many.
But, we're looking forward to seeing Antoine start another game. I think it's just a matter of time before he settles in. I'm telling you, this guy is the real deal.
