I've said it before, McGowan is the Jays pitcher who has the best stuff. He's taken some huge strides this year towards figuring out how to use it and how to pitch. IMO thats always the issue with young guys who have great stuff is that they still need to learn how to "pitch" in order for them to be effective. Ever since that game where he one hit the Rockies McGowans been pretty good and consistant for the Jays. Realistically he should probalby slot #3 in the Jays rotation next year should they keep it as is...but he'll likley end up in the 4 spot as you probably want to get a finesse guy like Markum sandwiched between a couple of fire ballers like Burnett and McGowan.
