to act like just because he pitched for 6 innings in one season means that he clearly wouldn't have kept it up is just an asinine belief.


No it isn't. To act like he can come back throwing 90+ with accuracy is beyond retarded. He had pitched a total of 6 innings in the last 6 years of his life. You must not have played sports very much. Even if he could pick up a ball and throw 90, that doesn't guarantee that he can throw quality strikes. You get drafted out of high school based on potential. He wouldn't really be getting signed on "potential" at this point. He wold have to prove to someone that he can actually pitch.

Barring injury, he would have made it to the majors as a late relief guy


This just proves you do not know what you are talking about. 90+ is a dime a dozen. There are NO guarantees that you would make it all the way to the show just because you throw hard.

Because I said all he had was a 90 fastball. Yep, that's all I said.

Call up a MLB scout and tell him you have a lefty that can throw a mid 90s fastball with a 78mph slider and see what happens.


Can't argue with a wall though.
