WTF?  That is one extremely deceptive fastball.  Looks like it's coming at you 93 or 94.  VERY impressive inning by Logan.

how can you tell its coming in at 93 or 94 from jsut watching on tv

His deceptive delivery makes his fastball appear faster than it actually is. It's like Brian Fuentes' fastball.

 

I read in the Sun-Times that Logan can get up to 93 MPH with his fastball but he looks like he can hit 90 consistently.

Doh, A.J. Burnett is already injured...

Definitely not good. Burnett and Wood are exactly the same type of player--all potential, no results. People are impressed with their 'stuff,' yet overlook their injury prone deliveries.

 

lol, and he didn't even throw one pitch in the regular season. With AJ--like Wood--you have to automatically assume the worst.

FWIW, I believe this pitcher (Ardsma, or however you spell it) was the minor league prospect included with Williams in the trade for Hawkins. No doubt his fastball is good. Unfortunately, control isn't quite harnessed.

 

Could be another instance Sabean is f***ed over by another general manager during a trade. He'll be no Liriano, but perhaps a relief pitcher like Bosner.

I'm glad he pitched well and all, but it was against fellow minor leaguers. Guillen has to find opportunities to pitch against major league talent.

I agree that he's faced mostly minor leaguers this spring.

 

But he's still facing hitters who are much better than what he saw in the Pioneer League in '05.

 

And I think we can all see what Ozzie & Coop like about him, independent of the results/box score.

 

He's got a shot.
