Slowly and quietly, this guy at Salem has been showing signs of becoming a realistic prospect for the future. He's had 4 shut-out appearances, pitches deep into games and his ERA is creeping down to where he might be under 4.00 at the end of his next start. I think he deserves some greater coverage by the SoxProspects scouting staff. What do you think?

I think he deserves some greater coverage by the SoxProspects scouting staff. What do you think? I saw him last night and he gave up a lot of loud contact, even if the box score looked nice. Didn't look overpowering at all. He's a fringy guy that might be a MLB reliever if things work out, but he strikes me as the kind of college player that works quickly and hits a wall at the higher levels. We'll see what he can do in Portland next year. Guys with stuff like his have very little margin for error at the higher rungs of the latter. Adam Mills comes to mind, and Mills was far more dominant. |

Chris, thanks. I like his durability and repeatability. Its very true that he's been subject to alot of contact, some of it loud. But he's not letting the ball leave the yard much. What do you think his prospects are for becoming a successful contact pitcher?
