  1. With that fastball...about 10/12 mph faster than mine ever was...he better be damn good with his other pitches and have very good C&C!

    1. There's a reason he was a non drafted free agent... usually is.

  2. I'm from CT so I will root for this kid to make the majors, I'm sure by the time he does it will be for some other team tho. And he can't do worse for the Yanks than another Ct native did... Pavano

    1. Just looking at a scouting report he doesn't look too special but you never know. maybe a switch to the bullpen is in his future.
