Karstens is widely considered the 3rd best pitcher of the group returned in the Nady/Marte deal. After a complete game, 2 hit shutout and near perfecr game. Does yesterdays outing change your opinion of the Nady/Marte deal? Does the fact he has not allowed a run in 15+ innings with the Pirates help any?
As I said after his first start, a 20 mph difference between a breaking ball and a fastball makes for a tough pitcher to hit.
Only time will tell if these have been two flukes or if he can be relied upon to be a stopper in the rotation.
One thing is certain, the Pirates now have some options for the rotation.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed their 16th round pick Wesley Freeman. Freeman is viewed by some as a potential 5-tool high school Outfielder out of Florida. Freeman was named first-team All-State by the Florida Sports Writers Association after batting .478 as a junior.
