I asked this recently and was told skin infection.

Grant Cleavinger has struck out 24 of the 33 batters he's faced as a professional. He's only walked 1. This guy was utterly useless as a college pitcher due to his poor control. What the heck did the Sox do with this kid?

Holy s%*# that’s remarkable, especially for an UDFA. Any idea on the arsenal?

Holy smokes! Did our advanced scouting department find a diamond in the rough?

He's got a .346 WHIP - I don't think I've ever seen one that low.

best pitcher would be undrafted

Sinabaldi had ERA of 8 plus at end of May. June-Aug less than 3. Nice turn around.

Thanks for that research, particularly Lackey. It shows 2 things. 1. Pitching in minors > pitching in college, and 2. wood bats make a difference. Our boy Roch probably agrees.

I also thing these guys are just tired. Full college season, draft process, all those workouts, then the travel involved in the minors. A guy like Roch has lived in LA, has a comfie crash pad, continuity for three years, now he's on the road in the low minors, not an easy transition. I'm glad they decided to get it started this year, he could have just played bridge league and shut it down until the AFL, which I think he'll play anyways.

Makes me appreciate Antonacci. He played college ball, went straight to minors, and all he did was hit. Kinda like Boston Smith.

Sam is just 1/1. He also signed longer than most before the game here, including for Mariners fans. The guy just seems to love being a ballplayer and does everything you want.
