Cerbaho-WG Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 If he doesn't get a September callup, I'll be amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 This caught my eye: He was equally popular with Backman and Birmingham pitching coach Juan Nieves. That’s mainly because of his durability and command of no less than seven pitches. “I throw a fastball in the lower 90s, a curve, slider, two-seam fastball, forkball and a couple of others,” said Yofu with a smile. “I was basically a starting pitcher in Taiwan, but I’ll pitch wherever they want to get to the Major Leagues.” “He’s got them all, including a great split-finger, and is the best athlete and best fielding pitcher we had on the roster,” Backman added. “He might throw too many pitches. Yofu has a really good fastball, but I think he’s lost a little velocity because of all the pitches he does throw. We tried to get him to trust in his fastball a little bit more.” Seven pitches? God damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I really think this guy could be up really quick. I think if he pitches good in AAA, they'll move up him before someone like Almonte. Also Cerb, I paid close attention to the 7 pitch part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI1020 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I don't like Yofu, I prefer real food like steak, ribs and mashed potatoes. Preferably downed with a cold beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 We need to have him make it because how cool is the name Yofu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
