medlen has been on an absolute tear in triple-A. He's 5-0 with a 0.96 ERA, .152 opponents’ average, and 44 strikeouts with 10 walks in 37-1/3 innings.

he is not the top pitching prospect though - that distinction goes to tommy hanson. hanson isn't doing as well in triple-A but didn't call him up due to salary arbitration issues.

well, he's just been called up from the triple A's where he has been pitching lights out going 5-0 with a 1.19 ERA. Might not be a terrible pitcher ;D

my concern is how will he do against major leagers?? and aaron cook can be light out.. he did gave up 4 runs to pirates on his last game but before that, he only gave up 1 run to SD and 2 run to FL.... both teams are not huge offensive team but braves are not either eve though they been scoring some runs lately

Expect him to do okay for he seems to have been quite consequent previous years and since he's currently absolutely stunning I wouldn't immediately expect anything worse than, say, 3ER over 6IP, knowing the rockies are certainly a below-average hitting team currently as well.

The run support may be somewhat tricky though indeed even though I think icemantbi still has the over, so might be interesting to have his view on the game.
