Minor

His stuff still looks rather underwhelming to me.

Pitch F/X

Had his fastball at 91-92. Change had a (roughly) 8-11 mph difference from the fastball. Slider looked good to me, though certainly not amazing. That’s a pretty decent arsenal from the left side. The rumors of his lack of stuff seem rather exaggerated to me.

The velocity has been a bit of a surprise, but I thought his slider looked very mediocre. It really didn’t look much better than Oliver’s to me.

He looked like exactly what everyone thought he was...

Decent pitcher/prospect, but an overdraft at that spot.

Minor

He’s garbage. Didn’t even make it out the 1st inning. He never should have went 7th overall.

Be real with yourself.

minor out

after 2/3 of an inning…

7 hits 1 walk 7 runs 1 home run allowed

by matthewmafa on Nov 7, 2009 8:43 PM EST reply actions  

Tabata has looked a lot faster than I thought he was

I do not get all the bust talk surrounding him, if he can walk a bit more, he could be a good centre fielder with some power and speed.

by tdot mariner fan on Nov 7, 2009 8:44 PM EST reply actions  

That jumped out at me too

He ran the bases well. I didn’t necessarily think he looked great going back on flies in CF though.

Chris Marrero

Should have been in this game over Brandon Snyder.

Be real with yourself.

Moustakas did not look very impressive in his first AB

His stance looks a bit rigid too me and he appears to be out of shape, though that might be my imagination.

by tdot mariner fan on Nov 7, 2009 8:51 PM EST reply actions  

His left leg isn't as pronounced

But he reminds me of Thome.

yeah he is a switch hitter....

Thats what they CALL HIM…

But hes REALLY BAD as a RHB…. so bad that he should actually probably just stop switch hitting… thats how good he is as a LHB tho

by matthewmafa on Nov 7, 2009 9:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Tabata just looked awful on that fly ball

Thought his arm action looked smoother than Leake’s though.

by slickterp on Nov 9, 2009 7:27 PM EST up reply actions  

Oliver

His fastball is pretty impressive.

by Jeff Reese on Nov 7, 2009 10:24 PM EST reply actions  

Jemile Weeks

Looks younger than a lot of little leaguers.

Danny Gutierrez

His stuff looked great in his inning. His curve had a nice sharp break, and the FB velocity was higher than I expected to see.

by jibs on Nov 8, 2009 11:07 AM EST reply actions  

I didn't see the game but I notice Leake struck out the side

Was his stuff any good?

#4 Starter

That’s what the scouts I talked to said his ceiling was. Has command of 4 pitches but no plus pitch.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Bronson Arroyo

type?

by Michael Cave on Nov 8, 2009 7:49 PM EST up reply actions  

i believe he could be better than that

by mjr20 on Nov 8, 2009 9:01 PM EST up reply actions  

Much better than that

If Arroyo didn’t take steroids or other ‘drugs’ every other day he wouldn’t even be in the big leagues,,,,

Deolis Guerra = Daniel Cabrera ?
I tend to think so

by SteveHoffmanSlowey on Nov 8, 2009 11:09 PM EST up reply actions  

^ what I meant was Supplements and proteins, vitamins ….

He is a practical pediatrician or a wannabe physician.

Much better than that?

So that means is most definitely more than a no. 4 type starter then. Go look at Arroyo’s stats (ERA+ of 109 and yes i know that doesnt tell the whole story) but that looks like a really good 4th starter to me.

I was not overly impressed, liked the look of Scheppers alot better.
