There are two Guillermo Pimentels in the minors. One was born in November 89 and is a member of the Rangers. The other was born in October 92 and is ours.
You have the wrong on in the picture. Maybe that's a joke I'm not in on. ;) After all, we did sorta steal our Pimentel away and sequester him after he agreed originally to sign with the Rangers, and held him captive til he signed on the dotted line with us.
Basically true story, that. We kept him away from all other teams until he reneged on his verbal deal with the Rangers and became a part of our org.
Still, Mariner, not Ranger, so could ya change the pic? :)
I've always loved this video of him at 16. http://vimeo.com/4803907
Uh...doesn't look like a 16 year old body or swing, but if he really is that age in the video then I understand giving him 2 million bucks and kidnapping him.
He started to drive the ball at the end of the AZL last year. He was the #1 prospect in it for a reason. If his eye comes around with more pro experience he's gonna be fun to watch.
I really hope he's got it in him.
As for THE worst pitching? We should get to see some arms this year, even with Pineda's (and hopefully Lueke's) promotion. If the low-minors kids throw like I think they can it could be fun, even if there will be several of our best pitching prospects in the pen.
