Incredibly exited about Stilson; Happy with Nolin also. I'm just wary of guys with high 80s fastballs. As they tend to get exposed at higher levels. <br /><br />The Hech haters need to just stop, as I think it is evident that he has made a turn. I don't expect a .400 hitter, but if he hits 320 in Vegas, I'll be thrilled as I believe that translates to .260ish. <br />I'm also impressed with Anthony Descafani(spelling is likely off) who has essentially matched Syndergaard pitch for pitch through 2 starts. Sanchez is also showing his potential. Nicolino is just Nicolino. I read one report that had scouts giving him a 70 on his change up right now and his fastball control and command is over the top. If he adds a few more pounds and can add a couple ticks to the fastball, the scouting report had him as a potential #1. As is they are seeing him as a #2! The report ended with saying he will be a well known national name by the end of this year.<br />I know it is a small sample size, but none of the prospects (or the major leaguers) have gotten off to a great starts with the stick. I hope this is not the year where we pitch and the offense disappears.Keithhttp://www.keith.comnoreply@blogger.com
