April 3, 200818 yr was he thought of as any kind of a prospect? his numbers before last year were not all that impressive. maybe some of our minor leaguers with mediocre stats will turn into cy young candidates.
April 3, 200818 yr #6 prospect in the Indians system going into the 2005 season #4 prospect in the Indians system going into the 2006 season
April 4, 200818 yr QUOTE(Hatchetman @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 06:40 AM) thanks. guy should have been the #4 prospect in all of baseball. Guys with sinkers always get overlooked because it's hard to project them to the majors. Some can be super studs, like Webb, while others can be just good or even bad at times, like Jon Garland. There are examples of bad ones, but I can't think of any because they suck.

April 5, 200818 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 06:33 PM) He was never ranked highly overall. In 2004 he was rated #76 between Bubba Nelson (#75 - Braves) and Andrew Sisco (#76 - Cubs). That's the only appearance he made on the BA top 100 list.
April 5, 200818 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) In 2004 he was rated #76 between Bubba Nelson (#75 - Braves) and Andrew Sisco (#77 - Cubs). That's the only appearance he made on the BA top 100 list. Crazy right? I remember researching it last season.
April 5, 200818 yr QUOTE(max power @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 08:16 PM) I'm still a skeptic that he is a #2 MLB pitcher. Yes he was good last year. that seemed like an unfinished statement. yes he was good last year... BUT...
April 5, 200818 yr his only real plus pitch is his sinker. Everything else is meh... but if he can keep that sinker down and be able to attack hitters, he should continue to have success.
April 5, 200818 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 02:19 AM) Kind of a Hispanic Jon Garland. except maybe without the Judy Garland break downs.
April 5, 200818 yr QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 12:21 AM) that seemed like an unfinished statement. yes he was good last year... BUT... Just that its one year and he hasn't proven that he is a lasting force.
April 5, 200818 yr QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 02:23 AM) except maybe without the Judy Garland break downs. Which would be Kevin Brown. He was kinda good
April 5, 200818 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 06:01 AM) Which would be Kevin Brown. He was kinda good that's quite the comparison, but I don't see Carmona having the type of career as Brown did. Most pitchers don't. Edited April 5, 200818 yr by BearSox
