daa84 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) from baseball america in 2007 Background: Slowey finished 2006 with two pressure-packed starts: one in Cuba in the finale of the Americas Olympic qualifier against the host nation, the other with Triple-A Rochester in the International League playoffs. His bullpen blew a lead for him in the former—though Team USA rallied for the victory—and he won the latter. Strengths: Slowey resembles Brad Radke for his fastball command, which some scouts rate an 8 on their 2-8 scale. He puts his 88-92 fastball wherever he wants, usually with good life. His delivery is so easy that it creates deception. In the high Class A Florida State League all-star game, Slowey threw nine straight fastballs to strike out the side, and only one drew a swing. His moxie makes his tools play up. Weaknesses: He throws 90 percent fastballs with average velocity, and it's hard to see Slowey succeeding in the majors with that approach. He saw the benefits of pitching backward—throwing secondary pitches in fastball counts, and vice-versa—against Cuba, when he gave up only one run in five innings. His changeup is ahead of his slurvy breaking ball at this point, but both need more work. The Future: Slowey could use some Triple-A time and doesn't have to be protected on the 40-man roster, but he's also so polished that it would be no surprise if he won a roster spot in spring training. If he learns to use his secondary pitches effectively, his command could make him a frontline starter. Edited June 8, 2008 by daa84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 QUOTE (southsidehawkeye @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) Tarp is off, 2:35 start time SWEET!!! Hopefully with the hot and humid air, Gavin gets the ball down. That is especially important today because from all the stats I have been reading his flyball rate is about the same, but his homerun rate is half, so he has been lucky, so if he gets the ball up with the humid air, the ball could travel a long way. On the flip side, hopefully our O puts out a big number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
