2015 3rd (102) - Garrett Cleavinger - LHP - University of Oregon

This guy has to make it. A Cleavinger-Clevenger battery must happen.

Ha ha..I thought that too! Awesome. Too bad he isn't from Pigtown too.

[25 Nuggets]

He's a college pitcher, right? I don't really care if he runs fast and hits with power. Just kidding!

I posted that before the Orioles made their pick, hahaha

Andrew Miller Jr.?

Andrew Miller Jr.?

ehhhhh let's wait a bit on that comparison. Miller was supposed to be a TOR starter.

Andrew Miller Jr.?

I sincerely hope the production is the same, but Miller is kind of a special case with his size and delivery.

My type of pick.

I am happy with a high floor relief pitcher in this spot.

High Ceiling too! Might simulate ANdrew Miller at some point!

[ArtVanDelay]

Cleavinger's numbers as Oregon closer this year: 1.58 ERA in 40 IP, 20 H, 17 BB, 66 K, .158 AVG, 9 saves

Very encouraging H/9, K/9 numbers. Misses bats.

Right.

But I'm more concerned about the high floor at this spot.

It's part of my whole bullpen strategy.

Walks are high but hopefully that is something that can be addressed.

It was more tongue-in-cheek.

[Three Run Homer]

Send him straight to Baltimore and buy Brian Matusz a one-way ticket out of town!

You and your sarcasm! *shakes fist*

[Can_of_corn]

Not with that walk rate.

Reminds me of the Lex Rutledge pick a few years ago.
