    Well, when he's on, he has a nice 92-94 mph FB and a good slider but no third pitch so his ceiling is probably a late inning pen arm. He's immensely raw since he's a position player convert and he's got pretty poor control, so he's going to take a long time.

    The prophet has come. Huh? Your statement about Wainwright was prophetic. Thus, you are a prophet.

    Yao-Ling Wang pitching great this year out of the pen. Would like to see Rosscup bumped to Iowa and Wang to Tenn.

    3/10.

    Wainwright has given up more than 3 ER once in 14 starts this year. Bang Biscuit.

    Holy [expletive] and I thought Castro was bad. Castro's wOBA is 10 points higher, but Andrus is much better defensively and is probably having the better season :( Andrus has actually manged 0.3 fWAR because of his defense.

    Pfft.

    I might watch some Chappelle's Show.

    I don't know how to equate LD% and BABIP, but a .268 BABIP with a LD% of 20 seems low.

    fWAR update: -0.8
  13. Tangled Up in Plaid
    What the hell?

    Because he's striking out 5.2/9 in AAA at 27 years old. They're basically the same age, and one is dominating MLB hitters and one is getting by on an abnormally HR rate against AAA hitters. His K rate is going to jump if he's coming out of the bullpen to face lefties. Russell's K rate in the minors was 6.4.

    Marshall might have been been too high of praise, I admit. But I don't see why he couldn't evolve into James Russell.
  16. Tangled Up in Plaid
    He's been really solid this year. I think he ends up as the next Sean Marshall/James Russell type.
  17. Tangled Up in Plaid
    Arismendy Penmantara.
  18. Tangled Up in Plaid
    It'll all come down to a changeup and/or cutter for him. I doubt he's had to use more than his two best pitches to dominate the MWL. Really want to see him in Daytona.
  19. Tangled Up in Plaid
    Yeah, that was weird. He comps his projection to Jermaine Dye, who's career slash line is .274/.338/.488. Obviously plenty of power.

    Cubs in heavy pursuit of who most teams consider the top international prospect: http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/eloy-jimenez-stands-out-among-international-prospects/

    \:D/ Underwood.
  22. Tangled Up in Plaid
    But does Skulina really have better stuff? I know Johnson has a plus fastball and breaking ball (can't remember if it's a curve or slider). Haven't heard anything about his changeup his year.
  23. Tangled Up in Plaid
  24. Tangled Up in Plaid
    He could be a number 2 starter? Last year BA said Johnson's ceiling was a 3. #-o
