    Schrader: 0.90 ERA, .065 BAA

    If he only threw more strikes. He's walked 8 in 10 IP while only allowing 2 hits and striking out 15. The kid has a great arm. I have to think he's bound for Bowie by June.

    That may be true. I remember talking about him a decent amount last year, and haven't heard anything until Frobby's post. I kind of assumed he was injured. Definitely needs to get the walks under control though.

    Sweet! He and Wright could make up a nice young fireballing back end in Camden Yards some day. And not giving up on Wright as a starter. Just setting expectations to what most people see him as.

    Due to the command issues. If he's walking eight in ten innings in Single-A, that's not going to improve as the hitters get more patient. He's wildly effective. That only works to a certain point.

    If he can get walks to around 4.5/9 IP, sure. Would actually fit better as a closer, generally entering the game with no one on, than he would in 7th or 8th inning work. Also, needs to show he is improving on in-game endurance and ability to throw back-to-back days. Still work to be done, for sure, but worthy of attention.

    In any event, Bowie will be a much better gauge of his potential than HiA.

    Impressive stats ....Hopefully Pepper can teach the kid some control.

    If he has control issues I would not want him closing; I would much rather have him in the 7th inning where the stakes are lower.

    The point is that with non one on base, he can work around a walk. Coming into the game in the 7th or 8th could mean men on base already, where a walk would hurt you more.

    Schrader got the loss today. Nothing noteworthy except 5 walks in 2 innings.

    His ERA is still only 1.02. He has 25 Ks and 15 BBs in 17.2 innings. If only he can harness his stuff.

    Remember, no matter how good your stuff is, if High-A hitters are walking at this rate off you then you need to make some adjustments.

    Right. Daniel Cabrera could do this. 5 walks in 2 innings in High-A?

    Two of the walks were intentional but he still needs to get his walk rate down.
