Some good words about Homer Bailey

The next great Texas fireballer in the tradition of Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens

This guy has me excited. Cant wait until he makes it to the majors, probably early this year.

A pitcher named Homer?

40 CHRIS VOLSTAD, rhp, Marlins
Polished prep product pounds the bottom of strike zone, and he led all pitchers in the Top 100 Prospects list in groundball outs last season.

Dude has Vols in his name!

 

[vols kick balls]

Harang didnt do so awesome today. 4 runs and 7 hits i believe in 3 innings work. thats the first L of the spring

homer probably won't make it up til next year, i don't think he is ready quite yet. he may be playing once roster expansion hits later this year.

very good article. If he can put together another season like last, he won't be invisible much longer. He has certainly developed into one of the better starters in the NL.

most scouts dissagree with you there. Most think he will be up in the bigs by atleast july. me saying early this year probably wasnt the best wording

who is our number 5 pitcher kicker. for what i have seen these guys competing are terrible.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

As of now it is Kirk Saaloos.

 

[emainvol]

kirk sarloos should be fine in the role. he isn't terrible

 

[GAVol]

I think I saw where Saarloos got lit up yesterday.

 

[vols kick balls]

sarloos is alright, but im not a big fan of his for some reason. i wouldnt be suprised if they made a deal to bring in another solid starter. nothing like the deal last year but just a deal to get a dependable guy.

If he's not terrible, he can certainly see it from where he stands.

The Redlegs are in trouble........their pitching is terrible.

ESPN.com - MLB/SPRING2007 - If Griffey plays opener, he'll be in right

Thoughts?

[VOLinthaNATI]

Too bad for him, all Reds fans will remember him for is getting a smashed nose by Farnsworth...

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Yeah, pitch to contact, that will work...........

:salute:

 

[emainvol]

i don't think our starters are anywhere near as bad as they have been in years prior, harang and arroyo are very good, lohse has shown flashes (but is still a fly ball pitcher in a launching pad) and eric milton seemed to improve last year. we have to find a closer though, maybe bray will step up
