June 10, 201313 yr Don't forget Carlos Rodon in 12 months. Only if the Mets stop being so useless Well ... we all thought Moran had a chance of going #1 overall, and we were abso-damn-lutely positive he wasn't getting past Cleveland, so, we could be like, 2 or 3 and have a chance, maybe.

I don't think the two situations are comparable.
June 10, 201313 yr From what I've read about Carlos Rodon, he's more of a clear-cut No. 1 pick. A better overall talent then Appel in 2013 or Correa in 2012. We shall see.

Which, apparently, he's debuting soon. I think the comparisons were more that Rodon is the best No. 1 pick or "uber prospect" since Strasburg and Harper, but not sure how Gerrit Cole fits into such a discussion. Need to do some more reading on the topic, there are people that are high on Tyler Beede too.

Other then Jose Fernandez and evoldi who can both cheese it in at about 95 are there any on that list who can bring the big heat? In the modern time MLB you have to bring the big fasty to the mound if you will have real success.

Look what happened to him when he couldn't get that movement. Got to have the real cheese these days.
June 10, 201313 yr Got to have the real cheese these days. I keep a Kosher household. I'm not sure I can root for a player that is a beefcake and also has the real cheese.

June 10, 201313 yr Setting up your jokes I see. Maybe YOU are SomethingFishy. Mystikol will appreciate my joke anyway.

June 10, 201313 yr Got to have the real cheese these days. I keep a Kosher household. I'm not sure I can root for a player that is a beefcake and also has the real cheese.Lol. Serously though this team definitely needs more beefcakes and big stinky cheese.

Seriously, hate to jump on the banwagon here, but you sir are a TROLL.
June 10, 201313 yr Back to the original point though, yes absolutely a good young crop of arms to watch for a while. Add Brian Flynn to the mix too. Going to be interesting to see what happens.
June 10, 201313 yr We've gotta have a pretty good rotation in a few years. I find it so improbable that we can't scrap together 5 good pitchers from all these candidates.

June 10, 201313 yr Velocity isnt as important as movement, deceptiveness, and variety of pitches. Matt Lindstrom could chisel stone with his fastball, but it was flat and he had no secondary pitches so he was often times quite awful. This is why people doubt Eovaldi's potential. His secondary pitches are not great and his 4 seamer has little movement(compared to his 2 seamer).
