Nearly major league ready pitcher is an overstatement.  The Braves traded for a AA pitcher that was 4-10 with a 5.68 ERA.  Everybody wants to bring those numbers into the majors right.

Well the Braves did...

The Braves got him in  August of 1987 and in July of 1988 he made his ML debut. Less than one year later. So yes, thats "nearly" ML ready like I said.

Its just ridiculous that people referred to my comment as "ignorant" while at the same time not knowing this, or blatantly ignoring it.

Not every player that comes to the majors is major league ready.  That Brian Bocock, SS for the Giants, was certainly not ready for the majors.  He had only played A ball and was not impressive.  I never posted your comment was "ignorant."  I just simply posted that it was an overstatement to say Smoltz was nearly ready.
