Dana Eveland

Al Melchior over at CBS Sports had this to say about Dana Eveland...


Eveland has nailed down a job in the A's starting rotation, but which version of the lefty will they get? Oakland hopes they are getting the same pitcher who tore through the minor leagues and put up the dazzling stats in the table below, and not the pitcher who has been ineffective over several brief major league stints. After losing much of 2007 to a torn tendon in his finger, Eveland is off to a great start in '08. He has struck out 14 batters in 15 innings, while walking only four, compiling a miniscule 1.20 ERA. Of course, this is a tiny amount of data to go on, but the bulk of Eveland's track record suggests that this 24 year-old is primed for success at the major league level. All he needs is an opportunity, and the A's are giving him just that.

I happen to agree with him...
