That this guy’s *expected* to eat lots of above average innings for a long time and still talked about as just like a polished potential BOR starter is something that doesn’t jive in my mind. He’s the most complete prospect in the org rn, has as much growth potential as anyone, and probably going to blow past this 4-5 talk especially over the course of a career. Sounds and looks alot like Andy Pettitte 2.0, not a super duper mega ultra ace but an anchor 

One of the least talked about big wins of 2023 for the org’s PD was following up his first injury scare in late ‘22 with a fully healthy season as he leaves the first injury nexus…In general maybe the healthiest pitcher in the org rn 

No he doesn't and it's a pet peeve of mine when people throw around the "2.0" stuff as if there hasn't already been like 25.0 since that player played.

Stated to be in the mold of by random evaluators? Yeah prob.
