Derricks of to a promising start and these are his Dayton's numbers. The walks are high but he has been composed and has to be looked at as a fast riser for RP help for down the line. As a college signee he has the ability to jump levels and must be taken seriously for the pen as early as 2008 and more realisticly 2009 as a main stay.

My baby adoptee got his taste of pro mlb baseball or in this case upper level minor leaguer's. His line today versus the Twins was painful but a lesson on what it's going to take .

I have great belief in Derrik and will wish him well but yes today he was playing above his element at this time. Go Derrik GO!
