You can't pick up the ball for the first second it is released and all his release points are the same place. Very difficult.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-22316545854129991482013-02-20T15:42:57.150-05:002013-02-20T15:42:57.150-05:00And yet like Edgin, the front office raves about h...And yet like Edgin, the front office raves about him. His numbers are better then Edgins and he's been pretty impressive. Lucky the deception will last because he's a relief pitcher. <br /><br />He was a relief pitcher taken in the fifth round and has produced unreal numbers. Until he really struggles I'm not going to find a reason to jump off his bandwagon.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520446193510393380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-33157564811931877312013-02-20T14:27:09.754-05:002013-02-20T14:27:09.754-05:00you're right about the lack of a + pitch and h...you're right about the lack of a + pitch and his delivery...<br /><br />another Josh EdginMack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-80803216369905851892013-02-20T12:07:36.310-05:002013-02-20T12:07:36.310-05:00Mack, while i think so this is where I'm going...Mack, while i think so this is where I'm going to do role reversal with you and be the cynical one.<br /><br />Leather just doesn't have a dominant pitch in his arsenal. His K's are all generated from his motion which makes the ball hard to pick up. <br /><br />Now if he can develop a plus out pitch in Binghamton then we can say we got ourselves a future 8th inning guy but until then I'll keep him in the club with the Chad Bradford's, Chris Young's and Greg Burke's of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-65721342464583094372013-02-20T11:35:45.433-05:002013-02-20T11:35:45.433-05:00'Leather' has put up K/9 numbers that are ...'Leather' has put up K/9 numbers that are unmatched in baseball.
