Angels sign .. Jake Faria?


Warfarin

Recommended Posts

Fangraphs: Scouting Report A deceptive changeup artist, Faria hides the ball for a long time before his quick arm suddenly appears from behind his head. His vertical arm slot allows him to work downhill with an average fastball, and the deception in his delivery lets him slip that fastball past hitters at the letters despite modest velocity. He has a plus changeup, too. When combined with his ability to pitch effectively north and south with his fastball, Faria has a chance to goof with hitters’ eye level very effectively. He has 40 control, though, and only does so accidentally right now. Faria’s arm slot makes it hard for him to work east and west, and he has two fringe breaking balls that, given his age, aren’t likely to progress very much. If one of them takes a half-step forward and so does the command, Faria could be a solid-average starter. He’s more likely a No. 5 or, if Faria’s command keeps trending in the direction it has been since 2015, perhaps a reliever.

This was from 2017, the last time he was on a prospects report.  Graded as a 40 FV player.

I'd rather have Fauria.

Wait... did this really happen?

"On June 27, 2009, during his sophomore year, he was suspended by Notre Dame for "slapping a priest on the butt in jest," which led him to transfer to UCLA"

I've heard it was actually for streaking.

Then I do not blame him for transferring. If you hit a faculty member (even a non-priest) on the butt, you probably deserve a suspension. But streaking? 

My favorite memory of him was the 3rd-and-13 4th quarter catch against USC in 2012. At least I think it was the 4th quarter. I was really drunk that game.

That was a great catch.

Drunk, too.
