Francona: Kazmir looks 'so good it's scary' http://dlvr.it/2zqTJS

 

 

Awesomeness for the first day on our new home.

 

 

10 pager?

Yeah but how are his xbox skills?

[Chimi]

Until he has to face live batters and can't hit the strike zone to save his life.

[Biergott]

He always looked scary with us too

[rc4halos]

Sounds like a manager trying to build up someones confidence.

[Lhalo]

Sounds like Terry found Kazmir's stash.

After giving birth to a ginger baby, I now believe that anything can happen.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I bet he won't look so good once he starts pitching in ST games and he'll look even worse in ML games (if he makes the team).

[nando714]

Damn you DiPoto

[Jobu]

I don't understand. Can someone convert this to metrics I'm familiar with, such as "how the ball is coming out of his hand"?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

A lot of guys look good in February when they aren't facing anyone.

Winner.

 

He's probably out of money too.

This year's Rodney, but with a straighter hat.

[FabulousFabregas]

I guess the network job will have to wait.

[Jimmag]

I'd still rather have Blanton. Did I just say that?

[Agalloch]

Kazmir for Comeback Player of the Year!

 

Kill me now.

This. Against the rest of the league: 6.15 ERA, 1.59 WHIP.

[Count Orlok]

Best shape of his career.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

If the alignment of home plate is plaguing Vernon Wells, it had to affect Scott Kazmir. We really need to have that looked at.

[Chimi]

He needs the money in order to buy the new Playstation for him and his friends.

Gets rocked in his next 2 starts, DFA'd shortly after.

LOL at those thread keywords

Last time there was a report on Kazmir here, he was pitching for some Independent League team and got waxed in a short outing giving up something like seven runs in two innings.

 

He had started a few games for that independent league team and that outing may have actually LOWERED his ERA for the season which was 15.00 or something.

 

But, yeah, he's looking good (in FEBRUARY as a prior post points out) throwing off the mound.

 

Kazmir, once the hard throwing NY Mets prospect and up and comer, apparently lost velocity on his fastball which Madden clearly picked up on in Tampa Bay -- so he was dealt to the Halos who then signed him to an extension.....

 

UNLESS, he' really learned to pitch (a la Frank Tanana another former Halos hurler who hurt his arm and then had to become a pitcher rather than a thrower), I just don't see Kazmir making it back and I don't see the dedication and focus in Kazmir that Tanana had.   Tanana had an incredible career after his mid-career adjustment.
