Jeremy Jeffress in Kevin Goldstein's Monday Ten Pack


link (sub. req. for the whole article)

 

Jeffress' season was delayed until mid-May because of a 50-game suspension related to a positive test for a drug of abuse. His off-field issues have been well documented, but they don't obscure the fact that the kid has some awesome stuff. His 5.13 ERA in his first five starts shows how inconsistent he's been, but at the same time, he's been completely dominant in three of the five outings, including seven shutout innings on Friday night that including just four hits allowed one walk and eight strikeouts. In 26 1/3 innings, he's recorded 36 strikeouts while getting up to 98 mph with his fastball and showing much improved control. If he can stay on the straight and narrow, his ascension to the big leagues could be pretty straight and narrow as well, because his is a pretty special arm.

hopefully he can find a little more consistency because it looks like when he's on he is dominant. he's really the only legit pitching prospect that I know of so i'm rooting for him big time (as i'm sure we all are) to make it to the show.
