    Not seen much discussion... anyone have scouting?

    He was a college pitcher dominating AA right now.

    Seems like maybe worth a promotion to AAA for a few starts to maybe have ready in July if we need an arm...

    22 years old
    3rd round pick 2023
    3-2
    1.98 ERA
    50 IP
    53 Ks
    17 walks
    0.92 WHIP

    Only one start given up more than 2 runs.

    Oswalt was same age and same level. He had a higher ERA and WHIP than this kid. Roy made 5 starts in AAA before he was ready.

    While I would say he hasn't pitched as many innings as Roy, he also pitched college ball while Roy was in the bus leagues...

    If this kid is the kind of performance Dana's picks lead to, our system might be ok soon...

    Garcia was promoted from A ball. Don't need to go as far back as Oswalt.

    I think Bloss is probably someone that other teams are asking for in any deals Brown tries to make to improve this team.

    I don't do it.

    He and Matthews look good so far... have to have something in the pipeline.

    I'm not advocating trading him (though I would in the right deal). Just pointing out that his stock is up.

    Already being discussed in the ‘other’ Bloss thread, but I understand why you’d want to bump your own one.

    Dude is so special, he already gets multiple threads…

    Just pointing out it exceeded my own expectations. I probably would have had him in aaa a couple of weeks ago.

    Might have helped with the jump...
