Closer of the future: Pat Neshek

[flowbee]

I cant help but to be mind boggled over his stats this year AAA. Decent chance he'll get called up at some point, or maybe traded to a team with bullpen needs

55IP
1.80ERA
0.93 whip (just 14 walks!)
82K's

wow! That release looks insane! Not sure if it's the video quality (skipping frames etc) but it looks like the ball leaves at a strange time like before the final release point.

He's 25 in AAA....kind of old.

what happened to Jesse Crain?

I've seen Pat Neshek pitch a few times for the Rochester Red Wings. The first time I saw him I was amazed. He came in the 9th inning and struck out all three batters on 10 pitches. He's 2nd in the IL for strike outs behind Tom Gorzelanny who has 12 more strike outs but also has pitched 44.2 more innings.

that motion looks like it will catch up to him. that looks horrible for his arm.

I think its time for Kyle Loshe to be demoted. Willie Eyre has been terrible this year too.

25 is by no means a dinosaur. He's done nothing to warrant being stuck in the minors for so long, I guess Minnesota has just been stacked with tallent and/or too patient with some of their relievers.

too bad the Cubs or Giants don't have this guy...

Jon Papelbon was also 25 and in AAA.

That seemed to work out OK.

In my 16 team keeper

I just put a waiver claim on him.....dropping Jose Arredondo


here's to that wicked release....he might get called up sooner than later.....
