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.
He looked like exactly what everyone thought he was...
Decent pitcher/prospect, but an overdraft at that spot.
minor
is geting crushed so far…
6 hits and has faced 7 batters..
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
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.

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.

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.

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
His Curve was very impressive
It dropped a lot and he had command of it also.

I'm afraid he will blow his arm out by just throwing hard

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.
I didn't see the game but I notice Leake struck out the side
Was his stuff any good?
Vroom vroom party starter

#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

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

^ what I meant was Supplements and proteins, vitamins ….
He is a practical pediatrician or a wannabe physician.

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 detest this line of thought.
