I guess it depends on how you are counting. If you count half a year still at Dayton and then a year each at Bakersfield, Pensacola and Louisville, that would be 3.5 years to go. I think he beats that timetable.

I tend to agree, and think that Broxton's contract structure reflects that.
Re: Buster Olney says scouts are raving about Mike Leake
The Reds have 5 good starting pitchers right now. The Reds bullpen outside of Chapman and LeCure has been bad.
Chapman is right where he is needed.

Simon has been good and Hoover is middle of the pack.

and Broxton's ERA is under 2.00 if you remove that one bad outing. So I'd have to say that reds44's remark is just plain wrong.

ERA is not a very good statistic for judging the performance of relief pitchers.

His WHIP is 1.164, how about them apples?
Re: Buster Olney says scouts are raving about Mike Leake
Broxton has struggled but it hasn't really cost him so far.

It depends on the relief pitcher. Closers? Sure. They come in with a clean inning just about every time. LOOGY/ROOGY? Not as much.
Re: Buster Olney says scouts are raving about Mike Leake
Broxton has made 24 appearances. He has inherited runners twice. Which means 22 clean appearances. ERs in 5 of those appearances.
Seriously, the guy is perfectly fine. If anyone has a major issue with his performance to date that means there is something else influencing their position.

I was thinking that he had a giant ketchup packet in left hand.

More zip on his fastball because he's more aerodynamic? :p
