I was just scouring Brad Bergesen's stats and they are really impressive. I know there are plenty of naysayers who believe that towards the end of this year, or by next year, hitters will have figured him out and he'll become nothing better than a #4/5 in the rotation. However, if Bergy continues his recent trend, we could be looking at a fantastic, young pitching staff next year (if the 3 headed monster is promoted). Here's Bergy's stats so far this year:

APRIL: 2 Games, 5.59 ERA, 9.2 IP, 7K, 3BB, 1-0 Record

MAY: 6 Games, 4.78 ERA, 37.2 IP, 14K, 9BB, 1-2 Record

JUNE: 5 Games, 2.23 ERA, 36.1 IP, 19K, 7BB, 3-0 Record

Obviously, Bergy's June numbers are unreal, ranking up there as one of the top SP's in the league during that span. He pitched one less game in June then in May, yet had nearly as many IP, more K's and less walks, all while dropping his ERA down nearly 2.50 vs his May stats. Overall, Bergy's ERA is a very respectable 3.76 and he's looking very poised on the rubber. So here it is...I'll pose my question: Will Bergy be our opening day starter next year?

Here's to hoping that Bergy pitches very well tonight vs Mr. Beckett & The Sawx
