Okay. I would start by saying that good closers don’t get behind on batters and walk themselves into trouble.
As a major leaguer, Rosenthal has walked 143 batters in 325 innings pitched. Take a look at his WHIPs over the past 4 years.
2014 – 1.41
2015 – 1.27
2016 – 1.91
2017 – 1.20Those aren’t the numbers of a great closer.
People shouldn’t be too overly enamored with their own analyses, Forsch. It leads to an unnecessary defensive attitude, and resultant confrontation when questioned.
The Cards will probably get creative. Wacha to closer?
Weaver to set up Oh? Bring Mayers up? Bring Gant up?
Artie Reyes?There’s no comparison between the 2 at this point. One is a proven leader at the highest level of college baseball. The other may not own a razor yet.
MLB.com had the following pitchers rated above Helsley in their mid 2017 Cardinal prospect rankings –
Reyes
Flaherty
Hudson
Alcantara
Fernandez
Gallen
Hicks
Gomber
Woodford
Seijas
Jones
OviedoThere’s something wrong with that.
On offense? I like player B better because of his OBP. Would have to know more about the differences between their defense, arm, speed, base running skills, etc. for an overall comparison.
2015 – 1-1, 2.01
2016 – 10-2, 1.61
2017 – 10-2, 2.53Career to date – 21-5, 2.09
Where was he ranked on TCN list
voted on last off season?Actually, I’m high on Carlson. My only point is that highly drafted teenagers are less likely to make it than highly drafted college players, who have a larger body of work to go on, against better competition.
That’s been documented.By the way, where is Mejia in the Top 50? Already had a cup of coffee at the major league level and hitting well at Memphis.
Perez, Plummer, Denton, Carlson,
Donivan Williams, Whalen, Kaminsky, McKinney, Rivera, etc. Teenagers are a crude shoot.He’s been overlooked now for several years by “those in the know”(supposedly). It doesn’t make much sense.
