Re: Buster Olney's comments on 1530 ESPN

Second division starter means the second half of the league-- 16-30. From Wiki:

Quote:
First division is a term that has had various meanings, at various times, in the sport of baseball, but originally referred to the rankings within a league. Teams which ranked in the top 50% of a league were said to have finished in the "first division", while the rest were said to be in the "second division".
In other words, many think he's a below average starter-- at his ceiling.
