February 29, 200422 yr Author Rex thanks. If the kid has trouble throwing a breaking ball, they should just teach him to change speeds on a slider. There's really no reason to try and force a curveball into the arsenal. They ought to concentrate on having him repeat his delivery. Jim a slider falls under the definition of a breaking ball. I gathered he hasn't been able to throw either. Some guys can throw them, others just can't. I was always fortunate enough to be able to make the ball do pretty much what I wanted. But no matter how hard I tried to teach some guys, they just couldn't do it. I never could figure out why.
March 1, 200422 yr well he basically started in low A after just a handfull of at bats in rookie ball after getting drafted. so...two years Low A and one high A. Could be in AA just turning 22.... Power is nice to have but it isn't a guarantee to the bigs. more then doubled his extra base hits..... I have a feeling......... great points i think we all have to remember that he was drafted right out of high school. I've seen spidale play once and i was very impressed i think he will suprise us all. thanks Rex for all the great input on this topic!
