Gordon Beckham easily, a star in the making.

Him and Andrew McCutchen on the Pirates were very good mid-season call-ups. McCutchen was a lot more impactful immediately. It took Gordon quite a few games to adjust. But, both very good players.

What about Rick Porcello of Detroit? 3.96 ERA, 89 SO, 14-9 record. Stats blow away the pitchers above. Oh yeah, shutdown the Yankees and Red Sox.

They've needed a sports page for a while (style, living, entertainment, but no sports).

Now all they need is someone who knows what the heck they're reporting.

Price was completely badass when I saw him in Detroit. But he was inconsistent - he'll learn.

Beckman is a special talent and is being fasttracked to becoming the team leader.
