Matt Moore is a STUD!
He has been great of late and has been dominant his last three starts. In this fanshot, we fantasize about a hard-throwing lefty who strikes EVERYONE out. Top 50 prospect next year?

Yep, those types excite me
I’m well aware of him and a couple others
From raysprospects.com
As good as the stats on Moore are, the scouting report might be even better. Baseball America named him the #1 pitching prospect in the Appy League in 2008 and #6 overall for the Rays. Moore throws an easy 92-94 MPH from the left side, touching 95. He also features a tight curveball that’s a true swing-and-miss pitch and has at least plus-potential, if not plus-plus. He also throws a change-up that fades away from right-handers, although it lags behind the fastball and curve in terms of development.

I've been barkling up this tree since May
Maybe he’ll get a shot at A+ by the end of the year
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Has anybody noticed the trend
that lefty power pitchers continue to dominate in the minors but in the majors suck for us? Ex: Price (I know SSS but…) and Kaz.
Come ON Pat the Bust, Navi can not have more homers than you
was he a power guy?

I was sorta joking.
If you mean velocity, no, if you mean strikeouts, yeah.

Yeah Kazmir has had a horrible career
and that Price guy, we should probably just cut bait.

I don't care about you nor your amusement
Have you noticed the greater trend that the minors filters out the worst players very early and then makes cuts from level to level going forward, with the Majors being the highest level of competition in the world?

One is a condescending response akin to a head nod, the other is one of the two answers to the question I posed

Are you retarded?
Price has struggled somewhat in less than 10 starts. Kazmir was GREAT, but he has had some trouble of late due to injuries. Kazmir career FIP is better than Shields, Garza, anyone else on the staff, Javier Vasquez, John Lester, etc. GET A CLUE.

Saying retarded things gets you called retarded.
Saying Kazmir and Price “suck for us” may be the single most retarded thing I have ever read on this site.
i didn't say
that… just stating what i have seen so far?

Fine then.
Has anybody noticed the trend
that lefty power pitchers continue to dominate in the minors but in the majors fail to win cy youngs so far in their young careers for us? Ex: Price (I know SSS but…) and Kaz.
Fixed
Thing is
Kaz wasn’t developed in our system, so I don’t really know why he applies here. So really it is just Price. Yeah so far he is a disappointment, but pitchers with his skillset just don’t dominate from day 1.
Kazmir fading the past couple years has nothign to do with our developmental system. Perhaps injuries, coaching, mechanics, combination of the three…but nothing about a pitcher flaming out once hitting the majors.
Everyone forgets that he is still the best pitcher we have ever had.
Shields has been better this year and last, but Kaz was MUCH BETTER in 2007 than I think we’ll ever see from Shields.

Matt Moore has never retired a major league batter.
Until he does he’s just another “prospect”.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 8, 2009 1:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Because he's been a major league pitcher.
Talk to me when Moore gets a MLB hitter out.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 8, 2009 1:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Barring n injury setback, i'll put my money on him
Mitch Talbot’s are a dime a dozen in every orginization
Hell we had/have Niemann and Sonny to boot
Sonny's K/BB ratio in the minors is actually still higher than Hellickson's.
A lot of people don’t realize it, but Sonny dominated the minors better than most top prospects do.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 8, 2009 1:41 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm one of the few who am not in love with Hell-boy
i saw him pitch in Legends and he gave up the long ball too often
Scouts compare him to Brad Penny with a little less octane.
You should like that.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 8, 2009 1:44 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh, sorry, for some reason I was thinking about Moore.
But, yeah, whatever, Hellickson sits at 93 regularly. We’re not talking about a pedestrian fastball, if that was even really important.
We have a great bullpen and only one of them touches 96.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 8, 2009 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions
And that is wierd
the Indians decided to go after all these ‘power arms’ and there still stuck in last place
Wood,Veras, Perez and Abreu—have all got bombed
Get out the back, Jack, need a new plan, Stan, get yourself a key , Lee, and get yourself a free.
Hope on the,Gus, don’t need to throw gas muuuuuuuch…
Get people who throw
sliders??

He really has hit his stride this summer
He began A ball with BB/9 of 8.8 and 7.4 in April and May. June and July to date have been 2.93 and 2.35.

Would anyone agre with this comment?
The Montgomery Biscuits, sans Jennings, Hellickson and maybe Morlan, is the biggest collection of shit we have in the minors
Not with pitching prospects
It’s tough to find a hitting prospect anywhere, but the Biscuits are inept
They picked up a journeyman named Perry to play LF, but he’s 29 yo
Want to gasp, look at hitting stats of the GCL Rays
Does anyone actively want to gasp?
Is it normal for people to be running around, trying to find things that make them unintelligibly express horror or shock?
Did you see their batting stats?
i don’t think ther’s a 200 hitter on the roster
i’m amazed
Have to go Downs before Darcy.
Both have decent pitching. Its a lack of lumber
Follow Me on Twitter @FreeZorilla
Agreed
Either way I think the pitching at AA has a better shot of helping the big team down the road.
Probably right
but its b/c of Hellickson more so than an overall comparison
Follow Me on Twitter @FreeZorilla
Though Nowak and the recently returned Eldridge should help the Biscuits
Follow Me on Twitter @FreeZorilla
But are they prospects?
to me a prospect is a minor leaguer who is in the MLB parent club’s plans
i know that and mashing pretty well
He’s getting to the ‘careeer minor leaguer’ status
love to see him up, but where?

Would the Rays be considered potential suitors for Doc Halladay? If so, what type of package would get the deal done?
Jim Callis (2:11 PM)
Yes, the Rays still have a lot of young talent. Might have to be something like Wade Davis, Reid Brignac and Desmond Jennings, and the Rays have enough talent at those positions to be able to afford it.
I love Doc but I’ll pass.
rbizzler (DC)
Best CF prospect in the minors?

Desmond Jennings.

Advanced metrics are for pussies! Real men talk about batting averages and pound Natty Ice!
FUCK YEAH!
Same guy called me a tool when I said I'd rather have Scott Hairston than Rocco Baldelli last June.
Yes, because not park adjusting statistics and relying on often-injured players to come back and deliver is how real men play the game.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 8, 2009 4:30 PM EDT up reply actions
ROCCO BALDELLI IS A SAINT!
The only reason he gets hurt is because he plays so HARD! BJ Upton should learn a thing or two from ROCCO FAWKIN’ BALDELLI!
/puts in a giant lip
Don’t forget that real men also draw opinions based on one at bat or inning. “upton is the worst player ever” etc
