Porcello Strings up Cabrera and Ordonez in Camp

We all know that Rick Porcello is pretty darned good.  This article confirms that and gives some reasons to believe that his MLB debut may come at some point in 2009.

Currently the market for Porcello’s cards is pretty hot right now with most of his Donruss based autos selling for $30-35 each and his Bowman Chrome Draft base cards tipping the scales at around $2.50-3.50 each. 

He won’t make the ball club out of spring training, but will likely head to AA Erie and wait to make his debut in the second half of the season.  Last season, he was excellent (8-6 2.66 ERA in 24 starts) but his 72 K’s in 125 IP was far less dominating than expected.  It seems from the early going, that this will not be an issue this season.
