The guy has great stuff, but just doesn’t pitch “smart”. Too many balls out over the plate that don’t tail back in to jam hitters. He reminds us of a young Smoltz. He will get close to 200 k’s, and he has the attitude to win 20, just needs better location. What is even more amazing is that he is available in most mixed leagues as late as round 12 or so, which is mind blowing.

Regardless of showing signs of ocassional brilliance and electric stuff, he just can’t pitch, and even in the deepest of leagues provides little value. We see no sleeper candidate here. Even if he has a good spring we are sticking by our guns.

Pitching very well, and finishing up the year strong after some early season health issues. His stuff is moving like crazy, especially late and really making batters miss. Has the stuff to roll it over in 2010, and will be a nice sleeper.

The only reason why David Price loses is pitch location. His stuff is so damm good. Breakout next year as he learns to paint corners and not throw so many mistakes over the plate.
