(i think this hinges on his command, which could still be impacted by his MF injury.) he said my little baby ruben could be a MLB SS in the contact + ability to play SS sort of way, but not a star. ike is a starter, but not a star until he shows he can hit a breaking ball. and holt is a reliever because he only has one pitch. he doesn't buy into the hype about his curveball, but i'm almost positive this is purely based on the fact that holt had trouble in AA. i really wonder what happened to holt though, because he ran off that monster stretch of dominance, and then everything went to shit, and then he stopped pitching out of nowhere. there were a bunch of good klaw nuggets in his latest chat.
