He has an epic mustache.

Szymborski: “ZiPS suggests an eight-year, $57 million contract to buy out two years of free agency, and I think given the upside, you can certainly go higher than that.”

Would jump at that chance if I was Elias/ Rubenstein.

Missed 14 bats today..struck out 7 and had a 65% str%.
 

Jones missed 21(!) bats today.  1/3 of his strikes were missed bats.  That kid has some great stuff.

Just saw that he missed 22 bats in his last (first career) start.

Who is Jones?

He was super impressive.  

Grayson did really well not have his A game.  He leans on his CU and it wasn't working today.

Pitt arms with Skenes will be scary.   Not often Grayson matches up with someone with better stuff, but he did today.

Bradish and Caleb Landry Jones were separated at birth. Neither can get their lettuce to darken.

I thought Bradish had a Wyatt Earp vibe.

Jones and Grayson was a treat - the pitchingBot ERA estimator thinks they are both Top 5 MLB starting pitchers year to date.

Wow, you're right. I had not seen him at all this year in any photos, etc. But here he is in February tossing some in FL. Weird, though, all last year is was the look of a guy who isn't quite ready to shave yet. 

But I do think he and Caleb Landry Jones have a striking resemblance. Seems he often plays a scuzzy character like in "Get Out", "Twin Peaks" Season 3 and other dramas and it made me chuckle as Bradish seems a good kid by comparison.

Grayson on Foul Territory today. This link starts at the start of his interview.

Based on Grayson later call up last year and being optioned in the first half, would he still be eligible for ROY status this year?

No, the rookie threshold for pitchers is 50 IP or 45 days on the MLB roster, so Grayson surpassed both.
