That must have happened pretty quickly for them to leave him in there to accumulate a line like that. 11 hits against as well in 4 innings, but also 7 K's. Talk about taking your turn in the barrel for that one.

But he's mexican, how could a mexican be better than RWML? "Being Scandinavian myself, I can tell you that Lars is the name of the mythological Norse God of Batting." Drew (Pacific Prospect Report)

He looked pretty damn good to me when I saw him in Lowell on Saturday. Haven't seen him in person but I would find it difficult to believe that a prospect not rated by anyone in the Phillies top15 preseason is a better prospect than Westmoreland. According to McKamey his tools are rated as PWR: N BA: + Spd: -- Def - Westmoreland: Pwr: - BA: + Spd: + Def: + Like any analyst, McKamey will have differences of opinion from other analysts but for the most part they're all pretty damn close.

I can understand the logic. It's far better to base things on 68 ABs in the NYPL. This in spite of 50K's vs 22BB in 211 AB's (14K / 8BB this year). We should call the Phillies right away and offer a straight up swap, they might be stupid enough to accept.

Posts: 14157 07/20/09 9:55 PM Veteran Member Podcast Panelist	I've been on the guy since last year. The stats you quoted include 143 AB's from his 18-year old season in A-ball (his career K-rate is lower than RWML's and so is his NYPL K rate). All things considered, he actually more than held his own in the SALLY league. Now he's completely dominating the NYPL at a younger age than Westmoreland. He's going to stick at catcher for the foreseeable future and he's got a strong, athletic frame. You can stick out Derrick McKamey as your deity all you want; this guy has been completely lost on guys in the past. Edit: And btw, my argument isn't even that he's a better prospect than RWML. I never made a comparison. But the ignorance you show on your posts is too egregious to be ignored.

Veteran Member Posts: 3277 07/20/09 9:59 PM Veteran Member	"He's going to stick at catcher for the foreseeable future." And you'd rate that as a better prospect than Westmoreland ? The category isn't better bat, the initial point was better prospect. Edit: Kiss my ass you pompus little prick "According to Elias, Wang's ERA of 21.60 as a starter is the worst ERA for the first 5 starts in the history of baseball." ... YES Network 6/11/2009
