themarksmith runs down the under-25 pitchers who have (or who soon will) blow past the 30-more-innings-pitched-than-last-year mark that some have identified as a danger sign for young pitchers.
While I take note of high pitch counts in curious circumstances as much as the next guy does, I'm a bit out of my bailiwick with this stuff. So, to steal a phrase from Neyer, I link, you decide.

APBA Guy-
The "30 Over" rule is more accurately an indicator. But it's an indicator that has the Yankees protecting Joba's arm like a medieval king protected his daughter's virginity: it's best to take this indicator seriously.
An interesting SABRE problem: correlate games pitched with pitch count over 100 AND total innings increase greater than 30 with following year ERA, and also with following year arm/shoulder issues.
For answer, see Dallas Green.
Can we kidnap lincecum to protect him from his bosses? Sabean and Bochy have juggled their rotation to get him an extra start.
