Heyward / Boesch
Rated rookies
Atlanta rookie Jason Heyward is going to be voted to start the All-Star Game, while Detroit rookie Brennan Boesch is questionable whether he'll even make it as a reserve. Yet, there stats are comparable.

A second-round draft choice last year, Oliver was 6-4 with a 3.61 ERA in 14 starts for Double-A Erie.
Considering Boesch started 3 weeks later than most rookies, I'd say more than comparable, but He also plays in an OF rich AL..
I'm not expecting him to make the ASG, just nice to see him get a little pub, seeing he's worthy of it.
Heyward has gotten all the pub till recently.
Should be a nice series where we can watch both of these up and coming stars.
In other words...a big question mark? Well, it should be interesting to see how well he fares tonight against an experienced pitcher.
:
Seeing when other teams rookie Starters come up and pitch against the Tigers they usually think he's Cy Young ...... Maybe the Braves will think the same of Oliver.
Just my opinion...it's a much better idea to introduce a rookie pitcher at the friendly confines of Comerica Park than it is on the road against a good Atlanta team. Hopefully I am wrong and young Mr. Oliver will pitch a no-hitter tonight only to have his hopes dashed by a bad call from the 1st base umpire. But perhaps my example is a bit too specific...

Tom has decided that we will be in first after the W/E, so we may as well start with a WIN !
Then again, your counting on the Twins losing as well and then Wh Sox already won today.
Andrew Oliver ended up going 6 innings, gave up 2 runs on 5 hits, 1 BB and 4 K's
Currently losing 2-1

Hate that I have to watch the Peachtree games in SD and other feeds are blacked out. D*needs to add Peachtree HD games.
The kid, Oliver, did a credible job in his first profession outage...at Atlanta, no less. We need get a couple runs and win this one.
Yeah the supposed HD sports leader is still missing a bunch of HD channels that show sports.
Have you went over the Contracts lately to see if D* has an option to have Peachtree in HD as of yet ?
