He blew through all levels of the minors, heater peak at 100, owned just about every batter he faced and the FO came up with a set of rules to keep Torre from ruining another arm.
Injuries, conditioning, maturity, over use of his slider and jerking him around (SP-8I RP-SP-6or7I RP) led to him being the best 6th or 7th inning guy on the planet.
Who do you think Joba bumps when he gets back? Garcia?

I agree one-hundred percent. Really rooting for him.
Ditto!
How was he not some kind of phenom in 2007?

Stephen Strasburg was a phenom. Being really really good for a short period of (highly structured) time does not make you a phenom.
