Young starters Shaun Anderson and Tyler Beede have seen their fair share of innings so far this season for the San Francisco Giants.
While both have shown flashes of potential, one cannot help but temper expectations after the decline of Dereck Rodriguez in his second year at the big league level.
The 27-year-old burst onto the scene last year with a 2.81 ERA over 118 innings of work, rising from scrapheap pickup to potential long-term piece seemingly overnight.
Unfortunately, his second season in the majors has not gone to plan.
