MASN had a highlight piece on CHris TiIllman

[weams]

Too bad that the audio was so screwed up I couldn't really tell what positive things they were talking about. ~d Said that any general manager says that it takes 3 years at the big league level to work out all the pitching kinks. He is what the good ones look like, it has been a very small sample size to really tell whether he is one of the ones that fall by the wayside or if he will really blossom, for us or someone else.

They took it from a Sun video. You can see it on their site.

Actually, I meant the part after awards when Mel Antonen covered his possible progression.

This kid is only going to be 24. He pitched a brilliant game to open the season in
Tampa last year..didnt give up a run or hit through 6 innings. He has the stuff, I
think its mchanics and confidence. I dont understand why NO ONE mentions him as
a prospect anymore. He can blossom before our eyes. He needs to be consistent.

On no. I am on the Tillman ship lollipop until it becomes the Titanic. I still believe.

It is all about that handshake last spring isn't it?

[Oriology]

I haven't totally given up on Tillman yet, but I think he'll have a tough time cracking the ML rotation this year. Perhaps a move to the 'pen is in order. His '09 and '10 AAA stats were good, but last year he really fell off a cliff at both the AAA and ML levels. Maybe he can re-discover some type of success under new guidance, but last year's regression is certainly worrisome to me.

I think it is about the way he has treated ~d since she was struck in the head while filming Tillman at Bowie. He has always been a nice kid. And he looks like they are supposed to look.

[weams]

He always stops us and comes over to talk.

It is kind of like hanging out with my nephew the drummer.

I didn't know about the ~d incident. I just remember how you were saying he had come into his "man strength" last spring.

I am not writing him off but he is a longshot to make the team regardless of how he performs due to still having an option.

Worked for Wainwright...

[WV O's]

I just haven't seen it from him, even in the good starts. He has to be nearly perfect to be effective. I have never seen the consistent velocity that he was supposed to have when we got him. I saw it for a couple innings at a time last year, but then back to 88-90. His stuff isn't good enough for 88-90. I hope as much as anyone that he becomes a good ML pitcher, but as a prospect he is off my radar (atleast as a starter).

Straight fastball with no zip, spotty control and personally, I think his mechanics suck.

I agree completely. I like the kid.

Here it is



She was hurt pretty badly. It did not take two years for her to recover though.

Her videos now have the screen in the frame.
