I know it's early but there's alot of chatter going on in camp about the kid.
I was just going over his ML numbers and they look very promising.
"After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?' I said, Mr. Barrow, there is only one answer to that - Mr. Gehrig is terribly underpaid."- Yankees outfielder Joe DiMaggio
Yea I like the kid alot. He's drawing comparisons with Roger Clemens!!! They say he has a 95mph fastball and a good curve. The thing is he had a great slider but isn't allowed to use it in the minors for fear of hurting his arm. He's only 19 so he's probably going to double A. We may see him as soon as 2007.
"I was pitching one day when my glasses clouded up on me. I took them off to polish them. When I looked up to the plate, I saw Jimmie Foxx. The sight of him terrified me so much that I haven't been able to wear glasses since." - Left Gomez
