During the final two starts of his season, rookie pitcher Collin Balester's ERA soared from 4.54 to 5.51. Up and down all year, Balester ended with a backslide that has him itching for spring training and management not guaranteeing anything for 2009. "It all depends on what we do in the offseason and spring training to consider whether the kid is ready to have a spot to start next year here," Manager Manny Acta said. Balester, promoted to the big leagues at the start of July, made 15 starts and finished 3-7.
