| pineiro | huff |
| 5-6, 3.97 | 1-2, 8.71 |
huff, a supplemental 1st-rounder out of ucla in 2006 (chosen between adam ottavino and chris perez), cruised comfortably through the minors and got called up last month. he's a command-type lefty, ie he survives by hitting the corners and staying ahead in the count. Indians Prospect Insider ranked him as the #5 prospect in the cleveland system this season: their preseason scouting report:
[Huff's] fastball plays up because of his devastating plus changeup. His changeup is his money pitch and a legitimate weapon against lefties and righties. He displays just as much confidence in his changeup as he does his fastball, and is able to throw it in any count or situation. Last year his slider developed into an effective breaking pitch he can use against left-handers. The slider is firm with good depth and is now the third plus pitch in his arsenal and a potential out pitch at the next level. He mixes in a 12-6 curveball which is real sharp and has a lot of depth to it, but is mostly used as a show-me pitch.Huff has a veteran attack plan and is all about command, movement and velocity. While he does not overpower hitters, he has unbelievable confidence and a very good feel for his fastball which he commands well to both sides of the plate and to the corners on all four quadrants. He is aggressive and attacks hitters, and he has a great, athletic delivery which deceives hitters and he repeats very well. He is a pitcher you like to watch pitch because he is smart and knows how to pitch by moving the ball around in and out, gets the breaking ball and changeup over and knows how to use them, and he constantly makes adjustments to hitters in game by reading their swings. He also does a good job of being consistent around the zone. He is a very polished, confident mentally tough pitcher who has answered every challenge and has shown the ability to pitch in big games and pitch out of tight situations.
sounds like the type of guy who'll eat the cardinals alive . . . .

we makes a lefty starters ERA go up, instead of down.

At 8.71
That means we have to score a lot of runs…

or chase him early.
three runs in three innings would increase his era.

No Sizemore.
That’s what I was looking forward to most in this series.

I think Tony likes Rasmus more than Dunc or Ank. He isn’t playing tonight because of a sore heel. If only he would have sat out Dunc and Ank for injury reasons when they had much more serious issues…maybe they would be better players for it.

the color guy is a tool
i’ve hated him for years
the main play by play guy is average at best. but he’s not as good as the guy they used to have before they invented STO

Colby currently leads baseball in RngR by OFer's
So he is saving tons of runs by his range but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact Chris Duncan has the lowest Range Factor of all OFer’s in baseball. So it sounds like Colby is covering a lot of ground for him

He doesnt know if Ank or Rasmus is a better CF
Does he watch the games?
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

the indians announcers at it too
“ankiel…. man does he cover a lot of ground, in only a couple of strides”
I thought if anything, his range was a bit poor (although I know that’s mostly his routes…)

I am still worried about this team
They don’t take any walks and they don’t seem to take a lot of pitchers per a bat. Anyone know where you can look at pitches per at bat for a team? Especially by dates

wow.
Other than Stav, that was a pretty cool defensive play by the whole team. Too bad it didn’t work.
