Benny Aybar, who many consider to be an essential cog to Philly's starting rotations in years to come, is getting a chance to flash his stuff this spring. Aybar has made 2 starts thus far, both wins, and is expected to make one more before returning to AAA to start the regular season.
Though his ERA is not as low as he'd like (4.15), he possesses a shining 1.08 WHIP and has gone at least 6 innings in each outing. His first start, against the Monterrey Sand Dawgs, was the more impressive of the two. He worked 7 innings in just 78 pitches, striking out 10 and allowing only 2 runs. The one sore spot thus far for Aybar has been the long ball: 3 allowed in his 2 outings.
While he likely won't see much playing time this season unless 2 key starters fall to injury, Aybar is just another reason Flash fans should be excited.
