How did this guy fall to the 11th round?!

ERA approaching 6.00 and a sophomore.

Swanson spent to get him.

I read some signability concerns, I think.  Still .. wow.  

It reminds me of when I found a $100 bill in a pair of jeans at a vintage thrift shop: Just completely unexpected.

I mean, I ranked him ahead of Marceaux in my pre-season prospects ranking, but still #23, and we collectively ranked him #24. Right now I'd rank him higher than any other pitching prospect in the system, other than Bachman - as I just wrote in the minor leagues thread. This isn't a guy who just put together a flash first six starts, with sexy numbers in the minors. He's legit.

Speaking of UofA, one of my favorite GameDay signs:

" Arizona wasn't even one of my safety schools "

Read something about him throwing 93'ish in college instead of the mid to upper 90's he's throwing now. Also was tagged with relief risk due to his body type

Either way, clearly looks like the Angels got a find here. Mid 90's FB with an easy plus splitter.

I like what I said about him in my ranking...

I get pulling him and all but I would have loved to see him go one more. Dude allowed one freaking hit in 6 innings

Ah, good times. The Weaver hype was through the roof and he delivered right out of the gate for about 6 starts before being sent back down for a few weeks while they wasted another handful of starts with Jeff Weaver in the rotation

[Angelsjunky]

Here's a stat: performance Angels spot starters this year (Herget, Diaz, Silseth): 14 IP, 5 Hits 1 ER, 6 walks, 10 Ks, 0.64 ERA.

Not sexy walks and Ks, but gotta love that ERA. What a change from recent years.

I remember that. I wanted to go postal on someone at the time.

[bloodbrother]

WTF Wallach. Suzuki was on the cusp of retirement. You've opened the door for his return with that

Sending him back down was an incredibly dumb decision.

[Angelsjunky]

Wallach. Dude.

[HeavenlyHalos]

That was pretty pathetic, Wallach

POSITIONING!
