He hasn't pitched less than six innings in a start since May 24, and pitched less only four times since coming up April 21. He's not an ace, but he's going to be an inning-eater and a mid-rotation guy; the kind of guy people love to watch pitch.

I'm always skeptical of that kind of description for a player. Usually, innings eater = suck but Bergersen has a 121 ERA+ right now. That isn't ace material but close to it. The K/9 needs to be higher though. It's really hard to be successful if your K rate is that low.
