Potentially Promising Pitchers

I have a newfound respect for session musicians. Studio work is grueling. We spent about 18 hours this weekend laying down what will amount to roughly 20 minutes of music. And we haven’t even gotten to the mixing yet. But it was a blast, and we learned a lot.
One of my regular readers mentioned that organizational soldier Clay Condrey has been recalled to take the place of Tom Davey, who hasn’t been sharp since returning from off-season surgery. Condrey is a 26-year-old right-hander who throws strikes and keeps the ball in the yard. Presumably he’ll be used in long relief.
Just taking a quick look through the pitching logs; here are some guys to keep an eye on next year:
- Blair DeHart
- Ian Harvey
- Geoff Jones
- Tom Lipari
- Javier Martinez
- Duncan McAdoo
- Chris Oxspring
- Corey Stewart
McAdoo and Oxspring are the only ones I’ve personally seen. All of these guys have put up intriguing numbers this year and bear watching.
If you’re sick of the labor situation and need a laugh, check out this thread over at Fark. Even my friends who don’t like baseball are digging it.
Enjoy…
