I already do . I cant wait to see him in a Marlins uni sometime soon! Do you guys think he might replace Moe in the rotation next year? Many people say he is ready now.

If the Marlins are smart...DO NOT RUSH THIS KID! Keep him in AA (yeah, I know Willis came straight from AA) and let him develop. Move him to AAA if he shows he can handle AA, but don't rush him. Maybe next year, but even then, I'd let him start at AAA before bringing him up.

Scouting Report: Sanchez was raised around a lot of pro players while growing up in Venezuela. Throws a two-seam and a four-seam fastball that tops out in the mid-90s with excellent control. Also throws an excellent deceptive changeup and a consistently improving curve. Good confidence and poise on the mound. Previously experienced nerve problems in his throwing arm, which he has seemingly now fully recovered from. Learned English quickly. Front-of-the rotation potential.

Can you compare him to another pitcher in the majors? It will help me have an idea what kind of pitcher he is. Thanks.

I conceivably see him as another Johan Santana or maybe a Pedro. It all depends who his pitching coach is. Pedro had the benefit of working with Joe Kerrigan in both Montreal and Boston. Kranitz has a good rep...I believe he worked with Greg Maddux when Maddux was coming thru the Cub system.

 

I can see him as an ace

:thumbup Thanks for the info.

He reminds many scouts of Bartolo Colon.
