Garrett a kid I try to keep a eye on I saw him throw in A ball. When you talk about a guy that not a hard thrower explain that. The night I saw him throw he was 88 to 93 from a low three quarter slot. I feel from that arm slot that pretty good velo. The other thing I would like you to look at is go/ao rate, his stats against left handed hitters. Velo is the third thing on the list when looking at pitcher. location and movement are one and two on that list.

hip surgery not shoulder.

Hey, Just though you would like to know that Garrett is recovering from hip surgery. They tell me he is in rehab as we speak. Thats explains why he didnt pitch much last season. They tell me it was his left hip and his labrum and ball and socket were repaired. Garrett hope rehab is going well for you good luck.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 09:37 AM) EOY update... Garrett missed a substantial part of the year to injury. He rehabbed at Bristol with a couple appearances, and one game at Kanny, before landing at A+ W-S. His final stats there in only 6 games: 8.1 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 6 BB, 5 K... 4.32 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, .226 AvgA, 3.75 GO/AO Having just turned 24 and only pitching a few innings in High A, the chances of Garrett ever becoming a serious prospect as slim. Given his lefthandedness, 6'10" frame and ability to induce ground balls, it is possible if he looks good in AA in 2012 he may still have a shot, but it is a long shot at best. He hasn't been able to add the velocity the team thought he would. Having put in 5 years in the minors, 2012 will be his final year of protection without the 40 man, and he would become a minor league FA after that.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 2, 2011 -> 08:34 AM) So, Garrett doesn't appear on any roster in the system, and his profile on MiLB shows no results for this year. I think he may be out of baseball. But if anyone knows different, let me know. Garrett is not out of baseball. He has just returned for a rehab assignment pitched to Adam Dunn in Denver and Chicgo. Just sent to Kannapolis and throw 2 innings Thursday 1 hit 0 runs and 0 bb 2 strikeouts.
