Is that worth having another potential Guillermo Mota/Jorge Julio/Mel Rojas situation? He has upside, but at the current risk and price, I'd pass. Speaking of power arms, I am very glad the Mets will not be facing Arizona's Max Scherzer in their upcoming series. This kid is going to be awesome, and if he's only half the pitcher he's projected to be it still makes the D'backs starting rotation the best in the majors, with Haren, Webb, Owings, Doug Davis, and Randy Johnson all in the mix as well. I'm also surprised there hasn't been any news on who is getting dropped to add Matt Wise to the roster. The optimist in me says Sosa...the pessimist says Smith.
