2009 Draft: Adam Warren in action
ByJust a heads up, Yankees fourth round pick Adam Warren is on the mound for UNC right now in their College World Series game against Southern Mississippi. You can see the game on ESPN2, but if you can’t watch, here’s the flippin’ sweet GameTracker. It’s an elimination game, so loser goes home.
Oh, and Yanks scouting director Damon Oppenheimer is chatting at MLB.com right now.
Go Adam.
Mike are they going to develop him as a starter or put him in the ‘pen to fast track him?
I sure hope as a starter.
Soon enough pitchers will be taken as “8th inning guys” as a position in the draft so fans can get excited
Not every team can be the Mariners.
Zing!
Thanks for the heads up mike.
Seems to be working that outside corner so far.
Thats going to happen with metal bats.
Kind of smallish, looks a little like D-Rob.
This dude has better location than half the guys in our pen.
Shit I jinxed em.
You guys should make links open in a new window.
I asked Oppenheimer where Melvin would have gone in this year’s draft, high 1st or low 1st.
He’s not draft eligible because he has no amateur status.
Melvin Croussett has been a professional baseball player since birth.
Birth? Try conception.
I asked IF eligible. I guess he didn’t want to make Strasburg jealous, he didn’t answer the question.
COWARD!!!
Melvin Croussett once had a bout of mechanical problems, like what Chien Ming Wang is going through now.
It looked just like Steven Strasburg.
Melvin was thought to have had forearm tightness, so he visited Dr. James Andrews. Dr. Andrews said that not only was Melvin’s elbow healthy but he actually had 3 ligaments in his elbow instead of 1.
And the tendons are made of steel-enforced nylon.

steel-enforced nylonadamantium.Imagine, if you will, an X-Man like athlete, whose powers are strikeouts and a low WHIP.
That is a pretty sweet GameTracker.
Word. All the built-in functionality (getting stats & bios etc) right in the app is very nice.
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark!
My only criticim is that they have the lights on. Ridiculous, its a day game. Come on CBS, I understand NBC pulling that crap, but I expect more from the #1 Network.
Is it bone? Is the lettering in Silian Rail/
Eggshell, with romalian type:

That’s a sick gametracker, do they have that for MLB?
I’m in love with this gametracker. They even had the guy slide in on the steal!!!
You can afford that type of sweet gametracker action when you make money hand over fist treating amateur athletes like indentured servants.

Steve Phillips just said an offensive 2B is more valuable than an offensive CF.
Dustin Pedroia v Carlos Beltran
we all know who wins
Forget that twirp, Utley vs Beltran and Beltran still wins.
Yep.
So that comes along with his obsession with putting good young pitchers into the ‘pen…I hope Steve doesn’t wonder why he doesn’t haev a front office job anymore…
But a bullpen of Joba, CC, AJ and Mo would be lights out after the 5th inning!
Pat Kelly v. Roberto Kelly.
Kelly Leak v. Jose Agilar
Really? 8.1 WAR last year for Utley, 7.0 highest for Beltran. It’s not THAT cut and dried.
This shortstop for Ole Miss is just brutal. Not all those balls were catchable but it feels like balls just keep going under his glove or he dives and doesn’t catch it.
He’s throwing a ton of pitches per inning. He’ll fit in just perfectly..

Like it. Like it a lot.
Does Warren really only throw 84-86 with his fastball?
anyone know his pitch count? …warren.
