I wasn't paying much attention then, but I'm pretty sure A-Rod was.

I do know I’ve come across a lot of stuff calling him a can’t-miss Hall of Famer when he was in high school.

Minor league update

Sorry to break up a perfectly good Rangers game-day thread, but Martin Perez is pitching for the Spokane Indians tonight and the Tri-City radio guy said that the 17-year-old lefty just unleashed a 94 MPH fastball to strike out a DustDevil. I have noted in previous games that Perez uses a fastball/curveball combo to great effect, but I had no idea that he had that kind of pace on his fastball. Can anyone verify that the young lefty throws that hard?

by spurdynasty on Aug 4, 2008 9:39 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

According to Parks

“Perez throws a heavy fastball that sits in the 88-91 MPH range with sinking action. His secondary stuff is quite advanced for what would be a high school junior.”

The kid is 17 pitching

in Spokane and you bitch because someone posted that he’s doing well? What’s your problem? If he flames out well hell that happens but to attack someone for noticing that a young LA arm is doing darn well at a level far advanced for his age, is a good thing. If you don’t like it, just ignore and don’t rain on the rest of us who are interested in guys to keep an ear out for the future.

longhorn had a prediction

I couldn’t squeeze it in before Adam jumped to GD Thread 3. But, anyhow, my prediction is we win the big 12 south and then we beat Missouri in the big 12 championship game. Cause I predict Mizzou to win the big 12 north. Sorry Kansas fans, I know we got several on here. But Missouri looks pretty damn good this year. So book it longhorn. We win the Big 12 this year.

I tend to agree with you.

I think OU is loaded this year, and Tech should be better than usual. Plus, the Horns play Mizzou (albeit at home) this year. I think 10 wins plus a bowl win would be a real coup.
