Glad to see him doing well. Kinda surprises me that he's moved to AAA as quickly as he has but he throws strikes and he keeps the ball low in the zone.

Well, he is a little bit older for a prospect. I could see him making it up by next year. Good to see a guy that went four years to college make it through the system so quickly.

He should be a good pitcher in the al east. Hard for all those power teams to hit hr's on the ground

Graveman is very good at the two most important things a pitcher can do- throwing strikes and keeping the ball in the park. He'll give up hits but has the mental toughness to avoid the big inning. I could see him being the kind of pitcher who hangs around MLB a while because he can give you 200 innings every year.

I really really like Kendall- how many people thought early in his career that he'd ever make it to AAA? Let alone probably the big leagues? He's just your classic Butch Thompson overachiever (and I mean that as a big compliment).

They will use Graveman and Lindgren as examples in recruiting.

Is Girodo in AA yet? His stats were outstanding last time I checked a few weeks ago

No, but he probably should be.

And let's not forget Hunter Renfroe. He hit around .100 as a freshman and now he is on the verge of making to MLB next year as well. It's important to have an example for the hitters out there too.
