Calderon Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Casey Rogowski - Best Defensive 1B in the International League Gio Gonzalez- Best Breaking Ball in the Southern League Gio Gonzalez- Best Changeup in the Southern League Cole Armstrong- Best Defensive Catcher in the Carolina League Chris Carter- Best Power Prospect in the South Atlantic League "I could have put him down for probably four spots for the pitchers. He's tough. His stats speak for themselves. This is a pretty good hitting league this year, and the stats he runs up.....His offspeed is his bread and butter, he knows how to pitch, knows how to use it, calls his own game, and seems to know what he can and can't do. He dealt against us. His stuff is outstanding and he has command but also control of his breaking ball in the strike zone. If it's 0-2, he will bounce it, he's got a 2-0 get-me-over variety, and he did this all game. He has a major league feel to pitch." ---Chattanooga manager Jayhawk Owens on LHP Gio Gonzalez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Best Tools are divided by Baseball America into leagues, and in the South Atlantic League -- where DLS pitches -- he ranks as follows: -2nd in strikeouts (with a large discrepancy in innings compared to those pitchers around him) -2nd in WHIP -4th in ERA -1st in BAA Whether opposing team's managers have acknowledged his talent or not, the statistics suggest DLS is fairly good.

Good to hear. me neither....its definitely good to hear....he should be able to get righties out if he can command the changeup, to me he sounds like danks, but with a better ability to get K's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
