Even in Vegas, his HR/9 was only 1.0. <br /><br />I see the high hits, low HRs as a guy who is working on his off speed stuff<br /><br />4) Pretty good control - career 2.3 BB/9 (2.1 in Vegas) is very good - for comparison our "pin point control" guy Montero walked 2.1/9 in his career and 3.8/9 in Vegas. <br /><br />5) Plus fastball - his fastball hits 95 - put him in the bullpen and it likely goes up a tick or two. <br /><br />I didn't realize this until looking at their 2014 stats, but Mazzoni's AAA stats are pretty comparable to Montero's <br /><br />Montero is a year younger, which is a plus, but Mazzoni had a better WHIP, K:BB and a lower BB/9 than Montero - Monterro gave up fewer hits and HR (both important) <br /><br />Montero had 80 IP to Mazzoni's 52, but they were close enough that I wouldn't say that Montero is light years better than Mazzoni. <br /><br />So I would go back to Tom's statement that Mazzoni would be a pretty highly ranked pitching prospect in several systems and would get more acknowledgement if not for Thor and MatzAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107443295708283998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-66368383635273488622015-01-27T15:20:53.458-05:002015-01-27T15:20:53.458-05:00Never let it be said I didn't at least try to ...Never let it be said I didn't at least try to help:<br /><br />http://bertc.com/subfive/recipes/threecrows.htm<br /><br />Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-19716996822340168452015-01-27T15:09:18.468-05:002015-01-27T15:09:18.468-05:00A crow casserole is something to crow about.A crow casserole is something to crow about.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-61682743201426666332015-01-27T14:48:10.495-05:002015-01-27T14:48:10.495-05:00"I hear CROW is Lean!"
