Is J.A. Happ the next Kyle Kendrick?

I hope the Toronto Blue Jays front office doesn't read this....J.A. Happ is having a phenomenal rookie year. His record is currently 7-1 and has a 2.97 ERA and has been a pleasant surprise as he holds up the back of the Phillies rotation. There has been much debate amongst Phillies fans, however, as to whether Happ should be part of a trade that would bring Roy Halladay to...

After that effort, many talked about how Moyer had several good years left and how he could possibly pitch into his 50's.Flash forward to this season and things have gone downhill fast. Moyer...

Swagger?

Was what I witnessed tonight the "swagger" Brett Myers spoke of when he said he found it in Lehigh-Valley? If so it needs to be bottled. If you missed the game you missed a dominant performance by Myers (something no one has seen this season). Myers went seven-plus innings, allowing four hits and one run. The lone run allowed was a direct result of a Chase Utley error...

Let's Meet JA Happ

Happ doesn't have overpowering stuff, nor is any of it tricky. He's much like Kyle Kendrick in that he pitches best when he's got his head on straight. Meaning he doesn't get ahead of himself, doesn't get to up or too down. He knows what he has to work with and knows his limitations. Kendrick has used that mentality to earn himself a spot in the Phils rotation.
