Looks like Dwyer and Arguelles are complete shit and Giavotella has regressed. Will Smith is the king of getting out of jams.

Monty and Odorizzi both have been a little unlucky this year, looking at their FIP.
Monty's second start was pretty awful. Since then, in two starts: 14 IP, 13K, 3 BB, 2.56 ERA, 1.00 WHIP.
Here's a really
great piece from Yahoo about him.
Side note: Monty's FIP this year shows a bit of bad luck, and his numbers in 2011 show his ERA should have been in the 4.30 range. Still not great, but much better than the concerning 5+ ERA he flashed in 2011.
Odorizzi's numbers don't make sense, either. His FIP is almost 1.5 runs lower than his current ERA.
He's going to get the call to Omaha soon, I think. His K/9 is REALLY high for that level (13 K/9 from a start at AA is sick). If he puts together another month of pitching at this level, I think they have to promote him.
Adam and Ventura look like the next two studs through the pipeline. Both putting up some eye-popping numbers at Wilmington.
