Hate to say it Murcie, but you off on Stumm on two accounts...
First, he was a 1st round pick in 1999 (15th overall)
Second, he has been outstanding at Winston-Salem this year. They have been very cautious with him and he has only pitched two full innings twice. He has only had one bad outing (his most recent) and he has only given up runs in four of his 17 outings. He gave up 5 runs in his last outing, taking his ERA from 1.89 to 4.12. This is another situation where looking into a player's numbers can give you a different outlook than just by looking at the numbers alone.
The Sox are being very careful to protect their investment with him. I have heard reports that he is the real deal and the only question about him is whether he can stay healthy. It is not out of the question the Sox make him a starter again, after a complete healthy season. Yes, Stumm has had setbacks early on, but the door is far from closed with him.
Thanks for clearing that up Rex, I could swear he had pitched better this season than those numbers illustrated. I've been seeing lots of zeros beside Stumm's name this year in box scores.
