I will admit, I'm not a big fan of Eric Byrnes, but I do like what he has to say about Tanner Roark in the link below.  Tanner is a friend of our son's and was one of his housemates in Triple-A.  I too think he's legit, but he has had to grind his way up the ladder.  After a superb MLB half-season debut last year, there was a question as to whether he would even make the team out of Spring Training.  Not only did he do it, he is excelling!

 

Note the commentator's doubts in the article as Byrnes calls him a 'legitimate ace.'  Players that have to grind their way up face these doubts all of the time.  Our own son faced plenty of them.
