Our prized young hurler finally takes the mound tonight, and without doing too much disservice to Bishoff's diary I'd like to remind people of what Price can do and ask what you think he'll do.
Pitches: Fastball, slider, change-up, slurve
"Money" pitch: Slider
Fastball sits 94-97, can hit 98+, moves away from righties/in to lefties.
Slider sits around 84-87, extremely late/sharp break that he's not afraid of throwing in two strike counts. Very effective.
Change-up is a work in progress and he has some mechanical issues while throwing it, namely dropping his arm angle which tips the pitch.
Slurve is used as a compliment to his slider, not much else.
2007 statistics (Vanderbilt) 13.10 K9, 2.09 BB9, 6.26:1 K:BB ratio, 0.2 HR9.
And now your turn with some over/unders on the night:
O/U: 5 innings
O/U: 2 strikeouts per inning pitched
O/U: 3 earned runs
O/U: 1 walk
O/U: a hit per inning
O/U: 10 total baserunners
O/U: 70 pitches

And Heath!
Then promote Cobb to Vero along with Hinkle and Davis/McGee to Durham.

Houser, I feel will be traded.
I don’t think Rays want him around. That is just me looking at the system and how it’s shaping up.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not.

who cares if hes hitting doubles and hitting near .300
by Cory Alexander on May 22, 2008 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions
Because he'd be producing outs more than 65% of the time?

So is everyone else?
How many people have an OBP over .350 in AAA?

35 players in the International League alone.

With at least 100 ABs
That’s 35 out of 98.

Holy cow...
I had no idea he was that bad at taking a walk. If not for that, I’d say he deserves a shot at the bigs since he seems to be raking in the extra base hits. But that lack of discipline is rather frightening.

How scary is the Vero rotation
Hellickson – Rollins – Price

I think we are good with our pitching, now we need a few positional players to make a dynasty

Price done. Townsend in.

Brignac
I went to 4 of the Bulls game on the last home stand and Brignac’s swing looked really good. I didn’t see what he was doing early in the year when he was struggling so I can’t really compare to that. When I saw him though everything he was hitting was a line drive between the gaps and he seemed to have a really smooth swing much like Longoria’s. I don’t think he has the eye Longo has and that is prolly why he is still in AAA and Evan is in the bigs.
I saw him in ST, here in St. Pete...
and he just looked like a mess at the plate. His swing didn’t look fluid. So, maybe he got the bugs out of it. Go Ried Go!

David Price’s final line: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, BB, 4 K (If anyone has pitch count…)
That means…
O/U: 5 innings PUSH
O/U: 2 strikeouts per inning pitched UNDER
O/U: 3 earned runs UNDER
O/U: 1 walk PUSH
O/U: a hit per inning UNDER
O/U: 10 total baserunners UNDER
O/U: 70 pitches (waiting… probably OVER)
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
