Kazmir

Buster Olney says some great things about Scott Kazmir in his behind-the-Insider-wall column this morning.

He notes some Tampa Bay Bucs were in attendence yesterday and tenatively concludes Kazmir is building a following.

He also makes the first Johann Santana comparison. I have thought that same thing this weekend in a debate in my league over a trade an out-of-time Scott Kazmir for a $13 Jay Gibbons, who can be protected next season at the same.

Kazmir's start yesterday will not dissuade anyone from believing the trade was a fair one. Of course, Kazmir will need to maintain that level for it to work out for the Kazmir acquiree.
