Report from McGee's Start (Biscuits) on Sunday

McGee was up in the zone quite a bit. In the first inning he surrendered a homer and a double. His curve ball has very little break and is more effective because of the speed (low 70’s) than the motion. He also leaves that pitch up. The highest he hit all day was 94. For the Fish, Maybin showed his athletic ability legging out an infield single then drawing a wild pickoff throw. He also took a McGee offering completely out of the park. Decent game overall.

That's been mentioned as a possibility

But whenever you have someone of McGee’s talents, you want to exhaust every chance for him to start before relegating him to fewer innings.

I know

I just see it in his future. I know I wouldn’t mind having a Joe Nathan or Mo for the next 10 years…

I have always seen McGee as a Joba-type of player

A great fastball and nothing else. Any other team would make McGee a set-up guy.

Joba has a lot else

He has three/four plus pitches. His fastball is definitely plus, his slider is plus, his curve is fringe plus, and his changeup is fringe plus too. He defs has more than a fastball.

Thanks for the report

Keep them coming.

You’ll have a lot of pitcher prospects to report on for the next 2 seasons at least.

RJ is not an elitist douchebag who hates scouting

I'm only here for 4 more weeks

But I do hope to catch Price’s first start.
