Yes, 27-year-old Jake Arrieta, who “has the best stuff” in baseball, but could never seem to put it together. He has shown flashes of success going 6-6 his rookie season and 10-8 in his encore year.  Last season was rough, going 3-9 with a 6.20 ERA while getting sent back and forth from Norfolk. Fans seemed to have given up on the kid who looked to be the future ace of the rotation.  Getting chance after chance, start after start, Jake racked up the walks, got behind on hitters, and struggled to get through 6 innings without allowing 5 runs.
