I am fine with this. The Mets shouldn't be offering Pedro 5 million after last year.
Parnell is a big guy with a workhorse's build but I read somewhere that he loses velocity second time around and that's the reason for his mediocre minor league numbers. That may be a reason the Mets like his potential as a reliever.
8?
8!?!?!?!
Whaaaa, did I miss something.
And of course as noted by Gamingboy....#8 Wieters! Those half-arsed scouts, they surely don't know as much as us over here at primer...
Yes, it is true, Matt Wieters personally fought King Kong for the title. They both fell off a cliff, and although Kong came up and swam away, we all know he was just running away from Wieters.
Poor Pablo Sandoval, the Rodney Dangerfield of Heyman's top 33.
I'm hoping they'll be the anchors of the first great Dearborn Sparkplugs Team, except that we're going to be called the Dearborn Wieters by then.
Anyhow, I like the fact that the Mets are at least being MENTIONED in concert with Pedro. At least it's SOMETHING of a step in the right direction. It would be ridiculous to simply accept anyone's asking price, not just Pedro's.
Don't be ridiculous. Livan Hernandez pitched five decent innings in spring training. He'll be the second ace.
Next week...Top 77 catchers in baseball...
It's easier than you think. Just write "Matt Wieters" once and copy and paste 76 times.
Besides, half the scout comments are "he's a good one."
"He's out of options and should make the team.
He's a fat lefty 1b. That's not what the Brewers need on their bench.
Tommy Hanson is a top prospect based on a great curveball. Who throws curveballs as their best pitch anymore? Zito, Sheets, Rich Hill? That's not a good list.
Are the Tigers seriously considering starting him in the rotation at the beginning of the season? What would be his innings cap? And poor Dontrelle looks lost.
Well, he was really spotting that 85 mph heater effectively.
Since it's Heyman, the big question for me is how many of these guys are Boras clients.
I like how Heyman gets pissy with Wade about denying the Pudge rumor. I kept waiting for Heyman to write, "But Scottie promised me!"
He is a top prospect based on a great curveball, a mid-nineties fastball, a 2.41 ERA between A+ and AA last year, 10.63 K/9, 3.13 K/BB, an 0.63 ERA in the AFL, and a 6'6" frame.
Except that I am pretty sure his slider his main out pitch, and he mainly works off his fastball.
The chances of any pitching prospect bombing is high. Having a good curve as an out pitch is not necessarily a disadvantage, though it might affect his chances. Before he broke out the slider, he had a very fb ratio, and had his issues with HRs in the minors too
Don't you mean telegrann?
I know others have done the leap from 20 themselves, but this seems really, really soon for Porcello.
Not to mention that, while he was good in the minors last year, he wasn't dominant.
The temptation is going to be there for AL Central teams to push their prospects this year, because the division is so crappy. An 85-win team could probably take it, and there are four teams in the division who have at least an outside shot at 85 wins.
I agree with Kevin Goldstein's view on this. Porcello led the FSL in ERA as a 19 year old despite not being allowed to throw many breaking balls. He was pretty freakin' dominant last year.
I dunno - I haven't seen him pitch, but to me, those peripherals say, "very good prospect", not "major-league ready".
I hope I'm wrong - I always like to see good young pitchers.
Who knows? I think he'd do OK but I would at least prefer a 1/2 season at AA.
