Wow, a 76/13 K/BB ratio in 70 innings. What were the circumstances of Schneider's mix of appearances? Did he bounce back and forth, or is that just a function of the tandem starting system?

Yes the tandem rotation does have that affect, especailly when they're only getting in the game for 3-4 innings. He did not bounce back in forth, started out at batavia and was promoted mid-to-late end of the season to quad cities.
He's a quality starter to keep an eye on. Think he'll be able to pick up more innings as the season matures in 2010.
I figure the tandem rotation will be used for about the first half of the season and as soon as the organization re-evalutes where everyone stands, and makes some moves, it will be dropped.
