Yovani Gallardo

Yovani Gallardo is here and you’d better pay attention. The Milwaukee prospect had his MLB debut this past week taking down the San Francisco Giants in efficient fashion going 6.1, and striking out 4 while allowing 3 runs. I was lucky enough to see this game as he worked his magic and it was enough to know that this kid just made the Brew Crew a whole lot more dangerous.

On Sunday he lit it up again as he took on the Royals, going 7 while putting up an 8K/2BB ratio. He allowed one run and didn’t give up a hit until the fifth inning.

The kid is scheduled to go on Saturday against Sean Marshall, who’s been lighting it up for the Cubs so far this season. Should be a dandy match-up and I’d advise you to check it out.

And on another note, how many superstars in the making under the age of 25 do the Brewers need? It's getting a little superfluous.
