[Moose Milligan]

A projectable right hander.

@Luke-OH do I have my lingo down yet?

I simply can't support this pick.  I hate WVU.

Coach says he's the guy he wants on the mound with runners on base:

 

[Yossarian]

That 5.76 ERA will fit in well on this Baltimore staff.  They don't need some show-off coming in with an ERA of 4.00 or something.

[Three Run Homer]

There must be some potential that Elias sees on the tape that isn't evident from his results.

[Tony-OH]

50 walks in 75.1 IP is a bit scary. Must have good velocity and something they think they can fix.

Probably convert him to Catcher.

Strowd made his debut tonight in Aberdeen. He started but only went one inning allowing one hit and striking out 2 while throwing 21 pitches. He was replaced by Dallas Litscher who has started in his three previous appearances, so it is possible that Strowd was serving as an opener to get his feet wet.
