I remember earlier this winter telling everyone at the Illowa APBA rookie draft that “Paul Maholm will be as good as Zach Duke”.
Well, right now I’m pretty much on target but not really in the way that I thought.
Right now, Maholm’s .394 OBP is higher than any other starter in the NL. (h/t Honest Wagner)
Good thing I didn’t listen to my own advice.
Too bad no one else did.
And as for my Zach Duke comparsion, I was really high on Duke last year when he first came up. By the end of the season, I reconsidered my position. However, I did think he’d have a better year than this.
