Box Score Recap – 4/12/2013

Box Score Recap

Nice line from Seth Rosin. San Francisco found something unappealing about him starting in their system. Not sure if it was the nice K rate, the reasonable BB rate, or the fact that he’s built like a small-to-medium-sized horse, but we’ll see if he can stick.  Here’s a link to Anthony Burkhart’s game story, with some background on Seth Rosin from the Pottsville Republican-Herald. Which one’s Pottsville? Yuengling, or not Yuengling?

Here’s the affiliate Scoreboard from MiLB:

  2. Ruben Amaro must read Fangraphs
    From Nov 2011: “… Seth Rosin, RHP: If you’re a rival executive talking trade with the Giants this winter you’ll want to ask for Rosin as a throw in to any deal. The right-hander features an 88-93 mph fastball,curveball and changeup…”

    2. I am thinking the Sarge or Wheels may have pass on that little tidbit to Ruben on a return flight home.

    3. Okay, I saw part of the Game tape of Rosin from MILB.com.

      First, the guy’s name is apparently pronounced ro-ZENE – I previously thought it was pronounced like the name Rosen. Second, the dude is huge – he’s from the Vance Worley, Joe Blanton, Heath Bell school of pitchers but he’s physically larger than those particular guys. He looks 6’4″ or 6’5″ and all of 255 pounds or more. He’s not fat, but he’s also not cut – again, much like Blanton but bigger. He has a good arm – there was no gun on him at the Reading game but it appeared he could generally work in the low 90s. He has a few breaking pitches that seem effective, including a pitch (not sure exactly what it was), that broke a little like a sinker, with lots of sink and lots of lateral movement. I didn’t watch him long enough to get an idea of how good he is with his command.

      If you forced me to project him, I’d say he has the ability to evolve into a Worley or Blanton type of pitcher or he could become an effective mid-game reliever. He was an awfully nice throw-in in that trade. It doesn’t make me forget about the throw in for the previous Pence trade (Domingo Santana – ouch!), but the Phillies could certainly get value from Rosin.

      1. Fangraphs doesn’t think much of Domingo Santana. He wasn’t even one of the Astros top 15 prospects coming into this year.

      2. Rosin is 6′ 6″ and was gunned at 97 in the Arizona Fall League the fall before last but they only pitch a few innings at a time there. I think he’s usually 92-95 as a starter.

  3. The Giants had him starting, closing, long relief, closing, starting…….. Looked at his stats and he led the Cal League in saves before they put him back to starting. It looks like they couldn’t make up their mind. Saw him on mlbtv last night- he looks like a starter to me with a bright future

  4. Happy with Walding and Franco. We all know what’s in Lwood, but looks like Cwater and reading also have some pcs to look at. If the starting pitching would firm up. These teams all could be competing

    1. Mitch Walding makes you happy?

      You must have been happy with the result in Miami tonight.

      When Mitch gets to 400 plate appearances and still doesn’t have his second home run will you be even happier? –

  5. Why only 74 pitches for him? Is that typical this time of year for pitch count for a starter?

    Like

    1. Maybe they limit innings early in the year for certain guys, regardless of count. He’s never started a full year, so maybe it’s that. Dunno.

    2. From the article linked above:

      ‘”He pitched an outstanding game tonight,” Reading manager Dusty Wathan said. “He probably could’ve went further in the game, but this early in the season, I thought six innings is good.”‘

    3. Thats what Dusty said in the article. Limit him to six innings this early and the weather conditions.

  6. The Mgr said in the paper he could have gone more but since it was cold and early in the season that 6ip was enough. He was always a starter in college so I’m sure he can get used to going longer

  7. Maybe time to drop Collier in the order to take some pressure off him? He’s off to a really rough start.

    1. Yeah, okay, Get back to me at the end of May and we can decide then. He’s always been a great athlete. But he’s never been too good at baseball.

  10. What’s up with Kenny Giles? I know he started the season on the DL, but it’s been a couple weeks now. Anyone know if it’s serious?

  11. Has there been an update on Kelly Dugan. He looks like he has some pop in his bat, but really has been hit with the injury bug

    1. About a week ago there was news that Dugan would be back in a week. So look for him on Monday.

      1. Once Clearwater has a starting pitcher emerge, Wright could move to the pen, he still has a nice arm. Tough to see a lack of command

        Like

        1. There aren’t that many exciting guys down in Clearwater. I would rather not give up on Wright so soon. He’s still younger than Garner and Hernandez and Kleven, Milner and Stewart haven’t exactly been performing well so far.

          Like

          1. There is no reason to give up on Wright based on these 2 starts, but he has been projected for the bullpen since he was drafted. It goes back to the debate during the top 30 vote. He reportedly only has two pitches, and one of them is a breaking ball that he can’t consistently throw strikes. As a LeftHander, without a great change-up, and decent comand of a breaking ball, he is a relief pitcher.
