Crawdad Chronicles 62.06 - Wild Things Ready to Roar

[JimBob2232]

New Orleans needs bulpen help - but unfortunatly for them, it may come with the Big Easys rendition of the Wild Things.

MR Cesar Castro has a nasty fastball and curveball. Throws 96 MPH, but cant find the plate. He pitched well in AAA with 24 saves and a 3.81 ERA, but also walked 47 batters in 51 innings. His 11/7/2 rating is quite concerning.

Similarly, MR Bob Rolf shot up the potential boards late last season - to an 11/5/4 potential. He made the leap from SA to AAA this year, but struggled. He is probably a year or two out from the big leagues (if he makes it at all). But like Castro, he has a nasty Slider and Cutter, and can throw 101 MPH, but his accuracy just isnt there either.

New Orleans hopes both players can continue to develop - because they desperatly need some bullpen help in the coming seasons

A lot of stuff bumps happening at the minor league level.. Welcome to the "I'm going to send 5 players to d-lab to work on control" club.

I think the stuff bumps are mostly isolated to relievers. Lots of sick relievers showing up in the draft pools these days.

It is interesting to see all the reliever stuff bumps.

I think this has happened less for me because I don't prioritize stuff since it often comes with weak control and I despise walks with the passion of a thousand suns.

I've been trading my stuff bumpers. As a result, Toledo has Manuel Parra and Calgary has Kelly Sims and Shi-yu Chiu.

I traded a few of my stuff bumpers away this season.
