Nolan Ryan......291 minor league innings. Only 37 (THIRTY SEVEN!!!!) above A-ball. If Pinada throws 96+, with movement and locates it (and is an athlete..not a David Clyde), I don't care how many innings he has thrown, give him a map to the PNW. Maybe with a cup of coffee in Tacoma.
Hey guys....Talent is talent. I've been watching the Atlanta Braves on TV a bit this week and watching their 20 year-old RF mash the ball. Nobody is saying he needs more seasoning. He's a talent...Bobby Cox is going to let him show it.
Can anybody say "J-U-N-I-O-R?" (465 minor league AB's...exactly 61 (SIXTY ONE) above A-ball.
In this card game, talent trumps age.
