I looked at the boxscores, and Varvaro pitched an inning. It's going to be pretty exciting in a couple of years to see some of the talented arms, as they hit AA and AAA. Good news.

They'll eliminate the unnecessary stuff and let his natural physical abilities add the velo.

He does so love throwing that breaking pitch on two strike counts, and I can't blame him, but he's probably going to hit a wall sooner or later. He's composed, emotionally and physically, for the most part, but he looks like a HS pitcher, albeit a damn good one. Got some more dtailed notes on him over at my blog...

He's already hitting 92 MPH, and once his mechanics get refined, he should be near 95 MPH. For a kid just out of High School, his form was pretty darn good. Very over the top with his pitches. He generates a lot or arm speed. Didn't get to see his breaking pitches, but I'm sure they need some refinement. I was behind the first base dugout, so best I could do was downward movement. For an eighteen year old kid, he's got good size. He's a little lanky now, but he'll fill out nicely in another couple years. He and Tillman could turn out to be steals in a few years. You see potential first round material, if he'd have opted to get experience in college. Bodes well for Seattle's future. I can see several arms emerging at once.......what a horrible problem to have. I was at the frog’s game tonight, and have to agree.

I need my fix... the Loganites are driving me nuts on the Seattle PI forum and I need some intelligent baseball discussion. Jason on Vacation or something ?
