He's been fine. He's having a bad outing today, but every pitcher (including Sheets and Clemens) has a bad outing every once in a while. Being critical of this outing is fine, but you can't judge a pitcher's worth to a ballclub on one outing. And what rookie are you talking about? I don't know any rookie in our Minor League system that could have an ERA under 4 as a starter in the big leagues.
