1. AROM Posted: April 18, 2012 at 09:25 AM (#4109462)What is so daring in that comment that the source would want to stay anonymous? Was it a scout for another team? If so, why not just say, "Scouts have reported that..."?
He's Amish, and could be viciously shunned if it gets out that he was using a JUGS gun.
Larry, is that you?
Because he was drafted out of high school and this is his first pro experience.
why is he being held to such ridiculous pitch limits?
They want to keep him under 120 IP this year, and by limiting his innings now he'll be able to pitch the whole season instead of having to be shut down.
Looking at the 2011 first-rounders, most of the pitchers are starting in A except for a few of the college pitchers, and a few of those played in Rookie or A last season. Most of these A pitchers appear to be on strict counts--exceptions seem to be Fernandez, Bradley and Jungmann. (I know Bradley and Jungmann's inning load is nearly identical to all the other starters in the Brewers org; they're going longer now because their first 2 starts are done.)
Well, only if somebody was writing it down. If all you're doing is glancing at the radar gun after most pitches, you probably wouldn't remember if there were one or two 99s.
(Sometimes we forget that not every piece of data in the world gets captured and logged digitally on the Internet. At least until Sean Forman can get a stringer to every class-A game everywhere.)
Any high school pitcher, no matter how good, should start his career in low-A.
I don't know why the Orioles won't let him throw more than 3 IP per game though. I'm not saying they need to wear his arm out, but 3 IP is too strict a limit. At least let him kinda sorta pretend to be a starting pitcher, especially if he is cruising through innings like he is.
I can't wait to see how he recovers from Tommy John.
Bundy boxes as part of his training, so I think he could take Tommy John pretty easily.
Hultzen -- 9.2 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 6 BB, 16 K -- that's a lot of walks, and unlike Bauer a few of them scored, but that's still pretty good
Cole -- 7 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 11 K -- his problem is 2 HR, but other peripherals look good
From your post, I was expecting a truly ugly line for one or more of them, but all three look promising, if not quite Bundy.
