Stewart is going to be good, and I know Drabek did come straight up from AA - he's the one starting pitching prospect in the organization I could see making the jump at some point this year. To me though, he's not in AA because Jo-Jo is awesome, he's in AA because that's the plan for him. If Jo-Jo keeps sucking, I can't see them changing his development plan to cover their butts for 4 months or so.
I like Richmond I just don't think you hold off on moves because you're holding back a 32 year old. I think he'd be a better stopgap than Reyes but less effective than Slowey.
Mills is pitching the best of his career. Not sold on the stuff though personally, subjective though I know. 88mph fastball, below average curve and a good change-up - wouldn't mind seeing him start a game or two but I think he might get hit hard at the MLB level.
