The other Arkie, AJ Burnett goes tonight. If he is getting his curve over for strikes, I look for a similar performance like Cliff's.
I had the chance to watch Cliff Lee pitch numerous times for the Razorbacks but Burnett signed right out of high school so other than TV, I haven't been able to see him pitch.
We have other former Hogs on the path to the Bigs on the mound: Nick Schmidt with the Padres, Jess Todd who bounced around with the Cards and Indians this year and a guy who was our catcher a few years back who was converted in to a closer and tore up AAA this year, Blake Parker who could be the Cubs' closer of the future with his 96 mph heater and good slider.
