Pitching Notes

Since this is a three day weekend (I literally found out yesterday) I’m going to show a lot of #slack and repurpose other writing I’ve written in the past week, which is mostly “scouting” reports on starting pitchers.

Stephen Strasburg has immense talent, but I question his pitchability.

I am big believer in Mike Minor and Tsuyoshi Wada for the rest of this year and heading into 2015. In the Minor piece I talk about Yusmeiro Petit’s record breaking streak and how I’m still not buying him.

Adam Wainwright has dead arm, but this has happened before and I believe I found the primary reason for his struggles. If you own him you have to start him.

Lastly, I am so excited Jason Parks (@ProfessorParks) was hired by the Cubs as pro/amateur scout. I can safely say he has had the most influence on me from a baseball knowledge standpoint (I think Jason would say that’s a bad thing, ha). He’s one of the biggest reasons why I have been able to cobble pitching staffs through the waiver wire the last four year and always finish in the top three roto points. Congratulations Jason!!
