May 10, 200323 yr credit:baseballamerica.com 6. Don Levinski, rhp Age: 20. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 200. Drafted: HS?Weimar, Texas, 2001 (2nd round). Signed by: Dennis Cardoza (Expos). Background: Levinski came south from Montreal along with Justin Wayne in the Cliff Floyd trade. In his final start with the Expos, Levinski?s velocity dropped into the mid-80s and an MRI later revealed a slight rotator-cuff tear. The Marlins opted to keep him in the deal and subsequent tests showed a strain rather than a tear. Strengths: After being shut down for the final month of 2002, Levinski threw a handful of bullpens at instructional league and was healthy. His heavy sinker arrives at 88-93 mph with hard, late life. When he?s in a groove, he can almost get by with his fastball alone. He also features a power curve and a solid changeup. He has a sound delivery that he repeats with ease. He has a quiet personality but is competitive and confident. Weaknesses: Walks have been a concern as Levinski learns to command his darting arsenal. After last year?s health scare, he?ll need to prove he can stay in the rotation for a full season. He also must use his changeup more often. The Future: Having dominated the Midwest League for four months, Levinski will probably open 2003 at Jupiter. His maturity and repertoire make him a candidate to move quickly.
May 11, 200323 yr Ramp, didnt Henkel get traded to the Tigers in that Redman deal, or am I delusional? I like Levinski and Snare. Also, I read that Hutchinson is more suited for baseball than his brother (I think I read that in the Herald or Sun-Sentinel). It seems at the A level, we got some hopefuls - but it is a long way til the show. I thought Bump would have been a more conservative move over Willis. Bump could get the job done in the Bigs, but obviously the Marlins went for the bigger prospect and more buzz with Willis. I hope this doesnt come back to bite us in the... :mischief2
May 11, 200323 yr my bad.... i wondered why i hadnt hearn Henkel's name in a while... *removing his name now*
May 11, 200323 yr I think you're right - he was sent to Detroit (along with Nate Robertson and Gary Knotts, if memory serves me correctly). I hope Nate Bump gets his chance - he's definately earned it over the past couple years, not months...
May 11, 200323 yr there aint much in the upper levels right now.... we could be in trouble...especially if Tejera continues to stink up the joint.
May 11, 200323 yr I hope Bump gets a chance. He's worked hard to come back from his surgery and has done well since then. Does anyone know how Tejera is after his fall?
