Pitching Target, what would you trade for him?

[gotbeer]

His minor league stats.

 

2008 9-2, 3.20 ERA, 1.258 WHIP

2009 8-14 3.36 ERA, 1.15 WHIP

2010 15-8, 2.21 ERA, 0.983 WHIP

2011 10-12, 2.46 ERA, 1.023 WHIP

2012 14-7, 1.53 ERA, 0.994 WHIP

2013 15-7, 2.10 ERA, 0.962 WHIP

 

Even with those numbers, he's projected to be a #4 pitcher.

Why 6 years in the minors?

I need a name. If he doesn't have a cool name I will have to pass

How many of those years are AAA?

 

None.  Japanese league.

[Erstad Grit]

Japanese minor league? What is the equivalent here  Junior College?

Will he be posted?

[gotbeer]

Will he be posted?

 

Not sure yet.  The team may wait a year because of Tanaka.  But he's projected to be a #4, so they may post him anyways.

Worth a shot if he gets posted.

I wouldn't mind it if the Angels signed him, but holy shit.

 

Maeda is a 6 ft 0 in, 161 lb right-handed pitcher.

 

 

Dude is tiny.

Kenta Maeda?

A.J. Pierzynski would be my pitching target.  I would pay just about anything to see him drilled in the back of the numbers.
