Jennings, the real 1st rounder

Jason Jennings, COL
The 1st round pick back in '99 is having a solid season. All the rumors (whether they are true or not, George Mitchell may want to look into that after talking to Dusty Baker) about the humidor & "wet & heavy" balls @ Coors or NOT. He's pitching well on the road, as well as at home.

Tonight vs. LAD in the city of Angeles
7 inn: 6H, 3BB, 5K, gave up 2ER

His #'s before tonight's gm:
G GS W L SV CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP BAA
Home
11 11 4 3 0 2 1 78.0 73 27 26 8 28 60 3.00 1.29 .252
Away
12 12 3 6 0 1 1 79.2 78 38 35 6 26 51 3.95 1.31 .257


If he keeps this up, he and Francis may formed a nice 1-2 punch for the Rockies for years to come. The only weakness in his #s is his BBs; if he can walk less guys and keeping guys hitting only ~.250, he will be fun to watch.
