John Van Benschoten - Pirates

[onlooker]

He will be starting for the Pirates on Saturday, and from what I can see, his last start was in 2004 for them.

He was 6-4 with a 2.73 ERA in 12 starts with Indianapolis this season.

He also had reconstructive surgery on each shoulder during the past two years.

It will be nice for him to face a minor league quality team in his first start in the big leagues

Good one, Buddy.

As enticing as the Van Benschoten guy is, I dunno if I can risk that kind of line on a rookie.
