His motion wasn't fluid; he was falling off the mound toward first base; and his motion seems to use a lot of arm in a whip-like action, rather than body the way Chamberlain does. Of course, this is just an initial impression, and I certainly haven't examined film on him. But I question whether he has a clean, repeatable delivery. I fear his mechanics and hence is control may easily get out of whack. And the heavy reliance on the arm and the whipping action make me fear for his health long-term.

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 20:55:39 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/2007/09/12/rookies-steal-the-show/#comment-22243 JB's going to be just finishing up rehab when the '08 season starts. I betcha he spends a month in Extended Spring, then makes a few cameos with Charleston & Tampa before settling in with Trenton around August. They say TJ recovery time is 12 months but it's really not. It takes a few months for guys to get their control back, plus the team will always take it slow with a guy coming back from such a major injury. It's very unlikely that JB will be a factor for the big league team until 2009, which is a shame, because we all know where he'd be right now if he hadn't gotten hurt...

Maybe he wants to see that guy pitching important september innings for that yanks? Like what Edwar is doing, think Ollie can be a pretty damn good long man out the pen, and if you take into account all the innings Kennedy pitched from hawaii all the way to the innings he'll pitch from starting here in september he could reach or even go beyond the pitch limit that the yanks have for him. Playoff rotation would Wang, Pettite, Clemens and Hughes. Hmmmmm, I guess Ram is a sentiment for Jared Wright. Maybe he wants to see that guy pitching important september innings for that yanks?
