Weams, I really think I went into the wrong career field.

I guess I should have gone into sports journalism, and get paid to attend games!

Sorry honey, I would love to watch the Desperate Housewives with you, but I have to work and watch the ballgame.

In weams' household, I don't think he has this problem. :-)

No. I don't.

In short, the kid is pretty impressive. I'll have a more detailed report tomorrow on him but clearly this is how top prospects are supposed to look at 18 years old.

Most 18 year olds, don't have the pedigree that this kid has and the extra coaching early on.

In the Weams household, its more like...

Weams: "Honey, the game is about to begin. Come on in."

D: "Sorry Michael. I was just editing the video I shot from our month in Spring Training!"

I have said since about April that this is the guy I hoped the Orioles would seclect in the draft although I thought for sure he would go earlier especially with his comments about not wanting to go to college and be an easy sign. I have seen him pitch 2 times in high school and was very impressed as he had very little help at all on that team. He did not get rattled in the one start I saw after what looked like a tight strike zone atleast for him not so much for the other pitcher to say the least. He also avoided some horrible defense in one inning where he walked a guy then they had an error and a butched run down to have the bases loaded. He then threw 9 out of 10 pitches for strikes and was sitting in teh dugout calm as could be.

He has a pretty compact delivery which is suprising for a younger guy out of high school though having a major league dad helps i am sure. He gets real good extension and throws downhill with his fastball. He has average to above average breaking stuff and his curve has good movement. When i watch him i see a lot of Chris Tilman in him with the way he throws and his demeanor.

That's great news. He's certainly been impressive looking at the stats.
