@shannondrayer: McClendon working to get Rodney back in the 9th says when ready they could help him by starting inning w/a LHP if tough lefty is up. #SSI
He's a max effort dude and pulls wildly off his breaking pitches at times as they sail two feet out of the zone. Kind of has a javelin-throwing motion, which amuses me - especially when that ball sails. I assume we're gonna tweak some mechanics to try to keep him in the zone more when he's throwing hard but he's a strong guy. Basically unhittable in college, but also walked a ton and didn't strike out a bunch thanks to control issues. Not a weird pick, just an arm we need to tweak. These are the sorts of picks I'm pretty unflappable about - we know what we like out of those small colleges and nab a good one or two every year. #G_Money #SSI
Kyle Wilcox, RHP from Bryant Uni. Small school in the NE (us? Never!). Per MLB.com, can throw 95-to-97 but loses pitchability, not short (weirdly for us), but controls all his stuff better when he's throwing 90-92. We'll see what we can do with him. Probably a reliever, even though his frame should let him start. So like I said: here comes the reliever part of the draft. At least we're good at this. #G_Money #SSI
Yep, thanks Josh - Dr. D #SSI
Thanks, Josh. Glad you appreciate the feedback, though I'm sure it's tough to put in all the hard work and get some complaint type feedback. Here's to success in the end! #DaddyO #SSI
