Love it when the guys embrace the tools made available to help them.

I'm not getting excited.

Shouldn't baseball be a fair fight, man to man, without all this messing around?

Fezzik: We face each other as God intended. Sportsmanlike. No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.

Man in Black: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

Fezzik: I could kill you now.

Man in Black: Frankly, I think the odds are slightly in your favor at hand fighting.

Fezzik: It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.

Of course not, he's not a 17 year old Dominican.

I'm going to need to see Lowther perform at the major league level to dispel the demons of the past that are Garrett Olson, Tyler Wilson (remember that fangraphs article that made us think there was something special about his 5 pitch mix and that he might make it?), Brad Bergesen, Josh Towers, etc. etc.

Tyler Wilson DID make it... in Korea.

I thought Bergeson made it... until Billy Butler un-made him with a line drive.

Sleep well and dream of large women!

Sounds like a few of you have Lowther expectations.

Sure, but the median player in Korea is probably a AA player in the states.

I’d be much more excited if he was out there pitching games.    Will these guys even remember which hand they throw with when this is over?

It'd be weird if he had a funky delivery as a lefty but had a really smooth delivery as a righty.

I know that of course, I was making a joke.

Honestly though, I was kind of disappointed that Tyler didn’t make it here. I liked him. I think there’s always room for a guy who throws slow but smart. Sadly, though, that room seems to be in Korea.
