Weams - bless you for posting this. I was trying to remember the former high draft pick we got from St. Louis, but couldn't for the life of me.

Cory Jones has the chance to fill a spot that our organization created by trading, he evidently has great makeup and pitch-ability.

Can says give him six years on the arm so use him up!

Watching Cory tonight. He gets by with mid 80's 'gas', guts, and guile. Not sure there is anything to see here.

Fooled the Dash through 3 innings with junk, and is now getting pounded - *pounded* - in the 4th.

Sounds like he lost his velocity or is going through a dead-arm period. The earlier reports were encouraging.
