Prospect wise, the next guy to look out for is Kevin Grendell who we picked up from the Orioles.  He's 22 and has spent time at A and A+ this year.  Has a 14.7 k/9 this year in 38.2 ip.  Control issues are hurting him though with 16bb in 20ip at A+

I'm intrigued by Sam Holland.  Aussie, pitched in the Pads system -- not sure how we got him -- but check his K/W ratios...  http://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=hollan000sam

yeah.  there are about a dozen or so minor league guys we've picked up this year from other orgs who having some decent to good seasons.  I think Eppler's mantra of finding cast offs from other orgs is interesting.

Holland appeared to struggle mightily in high-A ball in the 2015 season, but has dominated in 2016 at Burlington.   His Ks are down though.   Is he a crafty pitcher with a solid GB/FB ratio?    Being age 22 is on his side.
