We May Have Mo's Replacement (And it's not Joba)

As you've probably heard, there is a lot of commotion going on about Minor Leaguer Pat Venditte.

Rick Reilly has a great article about the young switch pitcher!

The pitching coach has to file two reports: Venditte the lefty and Venditte the righty. And he should; they're two different pitchers. The righty has a 90 mph fastball, a curve and a nice change. The lefty comes sidearm and has a murderous slider and a change. He's a five-pitch pitcher!

And if it's not amazing enough that he can throw from both sides, just take a look at his stats from last year and the beginning of this year. 

The only question is: When can he be ready? I don't want to push him, but I do hope that the Yankees will bring him up late NEXT year to start in the 8th inning set up role. That should give him a little more than a full season of baseball before Mo's contract is up and he could inherit the job. 

I haven't heard anything about his development but 44.1 innings, 60K's, and only 3 ER and 15 hits is pretty damn impressive.
