July 8, 200718 yr Faustino with a very good moving fastball and a great curve... Even though he has got rocked by Upton and just hit a batter, I'm excited.
July 8, 200718 yr QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 09:03 PM) De Los Santos has got a wicked breaking ball. I wouldn't call it wicked. It sort of seems like he's throwing a slurve as opposed to a hard slider or a straight curve. Not saying that's a bad thing... Looks like he's got a good fastball, though. Good movement.
July 8, 200718 yr 96 MPH for DLS. He could get to the high 90's once he fills out his body. He looks like he has some moxy on the mound, too, which I like.
July 8, 200718 yr They said Jeter has below average power for a shortstop, I looked it up and the past couple of years that's true but I didn't realize he is approaching 2300 hits already and he just turned 33. He'll probably make it to 3000.

July 8, 200718 yr at least we have something to look forward to next year. he should probably be in the top 3 prospects for us next year.
July 8, 200718 yr I liked what I saw from him. He was obviously overthrowing, as he was keeping his offspeed pitch too high. He definitely has a different skill-set than our other pitchers in the system.
July 8, 200718 yr If he can get that breaking ball down a little more, as in below the knees, he will be solid as hell. Probably will need to add an offspeed pitch though; that fastball-slider would be outstanding out of the pen, but isn't doing much in the rotation.

That was major league bullpen stuff right now.... certainly better than some of the guys we've got out there right now. I'm looking at you Masset and Buckvich. But like you said, he'll need three pitches to be a starter at the majors, and we didn't see one there. He'll get by all the way through the minors with those two pitches though.
