June 15, 200620 yr We all know he's been crazy good out of Low-A ball, but he's far too old for the level. Still some scouts think we've got another find on our hands. Forgetting about first-round picks, or players who got even drafted at all, one National League scout thinks the Marlins may have found a potential bullpen arm in undrafted Todd Doolittle, who was signed last year out of Mississippi State and is now relieving at Low Class A Greensboro for a team that features four first-round picks in its rotation. "He's got to get out of Greensboro because he's 23, but he's got a chance," said the scout. "He can touch 92, and he short-arms it so he's sneaky quick--and the slider is a real plus pitch, it's a 55 or 60 [on the 20-80 scouting scale] and he has a solid average curve and an OK changeup." With the four-pitch mix, Doolittle has dominated the younger hitters of the Sally League, compiling an 0.58 ERA in 46.1 innings while allowing just 28 hits and striking out 58. "He's 5-10 and obviously, there's not a ton of upside there," added the scout. "But he's definitely at least some kind of prospect." baseballprospectus.com
June 15, 200620 yr When does he turn 24? And he might just be too old. Age is just a number. He can be a future bullpen arm...results are the only things that matter.

June 15, 200620 yr Yep that sounds about right on him. Like I've said for the past 3-4 weeks, why he is still in Gboro is beyond me.
