I watched his last 8 starts on mlb.com, and he reminds me of Maddux. I'm not saying he is Maddux. Not overpowering stuff, but he can really, really command the baseball (with movement). Is it just me?

Does Kris Medlen remind anybody of Greg Maddux?

Yes, he IS the Maddux type.
Nobody can be Maddux, but 80 pct of that would be excellent anyway.
Braves have won his last 19 starts, longest team streak since Clemens/Yankees about a dozen years ago.
I think he lost a start himself last in 2010 or so (not that he's pitched that much).
finally got dinged today for a 2-run HR by Ronny Cedeno, but they always say, you can't stop Ronny - you only hope to contain him....finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Originally posted by The Dane View PostHe also kind of looks like Roy Oswalt to me. In one of my leagues, I had him as my best keeper (in my mind) at $1 and kept trying to trade him for a run, but no one was interested. One guy called him "a failed middle reliever." I couldn't unload him. Then Votto got injured and my whole team collapsed so I wouldn't have had a chance anyway, so now I'm "stuck" with a cheap Medlen in the middle of the pack. Sometimes things just work out for the best.
my biggest draft regret - i had him pegged as a late $1 target but filled up my pitching and had no room left for him.

But Newton wrote that letter to colleague Charles Hooke, who was really short. I recall that Stephen Jay Gould, the great scientist/writer, wrote in one of his books in the 1990s about how Newton wasn't necessarily just being poetic.
