Yes, I have seen Gio pitch....I know, I know, he's the second coming of Barry Zito with a better heater.
Seriously, Matt Guerrier was also the next Greg Maddux, according to Lloyd McClendon. I don't believe any hype unless it's backed up by results at the big league level...there have been too many Joe Borchards and Jason Dellaero's in my lifetime to justify getting excited by a future HOFer who is traded not once but twice by the same GM whose one strength is identifying talent that's struggling or undervalued/underappreciated.
Well JPN met him and liked him so that makes him untradeble.
