May 20, 201313 yr Even though his sample size isn't really that much...what are your guys thoughts on Koehler so far? I always thought he had the stuff to be a decent/good third or fourth starter in a rotation. From the looks of it he has a plus fastball (93-96mph), 2 seamer (90-92mph), hard slider (87-90mph) and pretty nasty breaking ball. Despite that leadoff homerun against the DBacks the other night, Koehler pitched very well.
May 20, 201313 yr He's been underrated in our system for like four years. Can't believed he was overlooked so many times, especially after his 2010 season in Double-A, but he's got a chance to do something now. Like Rich and Tommy were saying during the broadcast, he's been a winner just about every stop along the way and has always figured out a way to post a "W" in the box score... Hopefully he can continue to perform this way.

Not to say he's been very good for a long time, but he won enough games to get paid and stick around in the rotation every single year for eight freakin' years. If Tom Koehler has Ricky Nolasco's career I'll be cool with that.
May 20, 201313 yr Koehler's walk rate is not very encouraging. The results have been OK, though... lol
May 20, 201313 yr It's very easy to fall into the trap of overhyping your team's prospects...see the Yankees and how much value they placed on Manny Banuelos and Dellin Betances until recently.

Who is over hyping anyone? All I had said was he went under the radar in our organization for quite a long time and I hope he does well. But I also said if his career turns out like Ricky Nolasco's I'd be happy with that... so maybe I was hyping him up to be extremely average? lol.
May 20, 201313 yr He will be what he was always projected to be, a solid long man out of the pen/spot starter if necessary. Kind of like a Brian Moehler.

May 20, 201313 yr I didnt say the pitchers were similar. Just that their roles would be. I just like making fun of Brian Moehler... Sorry lol
May 20, 201313 yr He did well and I really hope he can continue, but I don't have much confidence that he will. Long term he could be a valuable bullpen arm

Nolasco sucks. We're not getting much.
May 20, 201313 yr Nolasco's numbers right now would warrant a mid level prospect at worst if the Marlins pick up the entire deal. They will fail at securing that kind of haul.
May 21, 201313 yr Nolasco's numbers right now would warrant a mid level prospect at worst if the Marlins pick up the entire deal. They will fail at securing that kind of haul. His numbers right now are good. We'll see what his numbers are in July. He can net us a good prospect if he continues to pitch well but odds are he'll have that game where he gives up 8 runs in 2 innings.
