anyone know how hard hes throwing here?

[shortsavage]

His fastball was 86-91 and touched 92. His curveball was 73-77.

I faced this kid in high school. Throws gas. His curve ball starts behind you and then breaks in for a strike. Blew me away haha.

i understand, however, the twins got the better deal clearly.

im glad the giants traded him he wasnt gunna be a "stud" he gives up too many hits to be a stud

[headachemaker]

Oh yes Francisco Liriano really bit the giants in the ass with his arm problems and marvelous 5.56 ERA.

Pitching prospects? im a giants fan but im a little worried with the pitching depth in the minors now

[throttleabc]

Hits per inning given up is too high; furthermore, success in majors is not guaranteed. Good trade for the Giants, as they have plenty, and I mean plenty, of pitching.

Thank god we got him. He's going to be a stud.

Thank god we got him. He's going to be a stud.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. freddy sanchez for the short term is great. He can hit and he's not too bad of a fielder. But Alderson will probably come to bite the Giants in the ass (Francisco Liriano anyone?). However the Giants still have Posey, Bumgarner, and Villalona, for now.
