2004 Draft Big League Debuts

by sidebar54 on Jun 14, 2008 10:40 PM CDT

Just thought I would see how Hurley compared with his big league debut against others in his 2004 class.

High Schoolers:

Hurley's debut vs. Royals (25-40) - 6/12/2008: 6IP 6H 4ER 0BB 4K's - 2/12: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 93/63

Hughes debut vs. Toronto (10-11) - 4/26/2007: 4.1IP 7H 4ER 1BB 5K's - 3/5: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 91/53

Bailey debut vs. vs. Cleveland (36-23) - 6/8/2007: 5IP 5H 2ER 4BB 3K's - 5/6: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 114/63

Adenhart debut vs. Anaheim (18-12) - 5/1/2008: 2IP 3H 5ER 5BB 0K's - 3/5: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 57/24

Gallardo debut vs. San Francisco (40-54) - 6/18/2007: 6.1IP 4H 3ER 3BB 4K's - 6/9: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 102/62

College Players:

Verlander debut vs. Cleveland (46-36) - 7/4/2005: 5.1IP 7H 4ER 3BB 4K's - 8/4: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 95/54

Sowers debut vs. Cincinnati (41-35) - 6/25/2006: 5IP 5H 4ER 1BB 3K's - 7/4: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 82/50

Weaver debut vs. Baltimore (22-28) - 5/27/2006: 7IP 3H 0ER 1BB 5K's - 7/9: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 97/64

Purcey debut vs. Detroit (6-11) - 4/18/2008: 4.1IP 2H 1ER 7BB 3K's - 7/3: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 86/40

Perkins debut vs. Boston (24-15) - 5/10/2008: 6IP 9H 3ER 0BB 3K's - 5/10: GB/FB - Pitches/Strikes 98/69

I'm not really sure what this means, but I just figured I would compare Hurley's first big league debut to others in the '04 class so that others could see where he stood after one start. I realize not much should be put on one start, but interesting nonetheless.

Anybody have any predictions on Hurley's next start: at home against Atlanta. Who all is going to be there for Hurley's first Major League start in RBiA?

Also probably matters when those debuts happened

also

-opposing team
-and maybe a small asterisk next to Adenhart since the idiot Angels pitched him on short rest (and now he’s totally sucking at AAA)

Bailey's debut

114 pitches in 5 innings.

Even pre-Dusty they were playing Dustyball.

Call it the Wake of Dusty

It’s like the Seed of Chucky in that the effect is so profound, that it arrives before it’s “there.”

Except "The Wake of Dusty"

is a real-life nightmare, not a filmed comedy.

Nick Adenhart

Boy, the Angels really screwed up when they debuted him on short rest. He had a horrible debut, and as BA notes, he’s 1-4 with a 6.88 ERA since being sent back down.

Anyone think maybe Eric Hurley is starting to edge ahead of him as far as prospect rating goes these days?
