Scott Kazmir debuts tonight. If you have access to the Devil Rays' games check out Kazmir. He's one of the most hyped pitching prospects in the minors. The Rays acquired him from the Mets at the trade deadline as part of the Victor Zambrano deal.

D-Rays manger Lou Piniella had the following to say about Kazmir:

"I would like to see a young man who throws like the reports we have seen," Piniella said when asked what he expects from his pitcher. "Hopefully, he can gain some experience and win some ballgames. We'll see how far along he is with his pitches and his poise on the mound. It's a big jump for a young guy, from Double-A to the Majors."
