That being said hopefully the new leadership over the international side of things will bring those players here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 On 8/7/2023 at 12:12 AM, Tenacious D said: Jackson Jobe article on Fangraphs https://blogs.fangraphs.com/sunday-notes-jackson-jobe-has-a-jacob-degrom-like-cutter/ Asking the analytically-minded hurler about the metrics on his cutter elicited a response that was preceded by a pregnant pause. “I hate trying compare myself to this guy,” said Jobe. “I don’t think there’s been anybody like him, and I’m nowhere close to being who he is, but my cutter is pretty similar to Jacob deGrom’s slider at times. When it’s good, I throw it at 93 [mph] with negative-two horizontal and four vert. Like I said, on paper. Obviously, he does a fantastic job of locating his. It’s not just metrics that make a pitch good, it’s how you use it. My goal is to one day be anywhere as talented as he is.” Yeah, I like this kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 What I liked though is how he brought up how Gerrit Cole(like prime JV) has managed to stay healthy because he picks his spots when he wants to dial it up, unlike Degrom who would throw 102 from the opening pitch and in turn has been injured constantly. So even though he may emulate or compare to DeGrom stuff wise he seems to be wise enough to know that pitching like him isn't the best thing health wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topliner1903 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) In their latest update, Baseball America has Max Clark at number 15 overall, Colt Keith at 26. Langford at 13, Crews at 4. I think just yesterday they had Clark at 19, so he's moving up the list quickly. Walker Jenkins is at 16. Edit: Oops, that was MLB.com's ranking. Baseball America has Keith at 19, Clark at 21.

RandyMarsh Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Madden got knocked around his start before yesterday but aside from that he has been straight dominant for almost 2 months now. Outside of the aforementioned start Madden has given up 13 HITS total in his last 6 starts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Bunch of minor league updates in the Tigers injury updates today. Angel De Jesus had TJ surgery. Roberto Campos shoulder strain. Brady Cerkownyk, meniscus surgery. Navigato: shoulder sprain/surgery. Hess is currently out with a shoulder: it was an oblique earlier this year that sidelined him on the way back from TJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than this start he's not exactly tearing it up yet. Good K rate and H/9, but too many walks and HRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
