What is this strange term you call "left handed starter"?

He's definitely earned it...there's no doubt about it.
Expectations are low...but outside of his actual "stuff," he does have a lot of the other intangibles. I hope he throws a no-hitter. The Reds need him to pitch well.
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
He'll have his chance. He does well enough, and he could be the one to stay when Volquez comes back.
FWIW, Moyer had an ERA over 5 his first two seasons :o

Agreed. Pretty much every poster I've seen has gone out of their way to say Maloney's not a savior, but rather a guy who's earned his shot. It'll be tough, but I'd really like to see a guy who's paid his dues succeed.
Unfortunately for Maloney, his Major League debut is for the Reds, and not against them.
