David Huff looking to build on so-so rookie season

Cleveland Indian starting pitcher David Huff could be one of this year's break out performers. In 2009 he posted an 11-8 record with a 5.62 ERA. Huff finished strong posting a 2.18 ERA in his final five starts. Rookie struggles can be blamed for the inflated ERA as when he was hit he was hit hard. The final five starts show an ability to shut opposing teams down. As he gets more accustomed to pitching in the big leagues David will improve his composure and will be less likely to give up the huge innings that inflated his ERA during his rookie campaign. His minor league numbers are impressive especially in 08 when he limited opposing teams to less than a runner per inning between AA and AAA. His 19th place ranking on ESPN's 2009 prospects list suggests tons of potential. in 2010 he could be one of the bright spots for the lowly Indians.
