Smith looks like a innings eater to me. He has a great pitching frame as well.
He needs AA now !

Bailey after 4 starts
26.1 innings 19 hits 3 bb 15 K's 3-1 record 1.03 ERA
He is holding AAA hitters to a .200 avg and has only given up 1 hr in 26 innings.
So far bailey has went down to AAA and pitched even better then he did last year in AAA. That is a sign of improvment IMO ! And that is all you can ask for a 21 year old.

I thought he had organizational player written all over him, but he has really taken a step forward to start this year. However, Carlos Fisher had a hot start last year too, and its a long season, so i'll be fully on board when these guys look good in August. |

Well one of the issues with Fisher is he was a 2 pitch pitcher. I think that works in the pen but not as a starter. Smith throws 3 pitches for strikes right now (fastball (91-94) Slider and a splitter....He is also working on a changeup but I dont think he needs it as he can use the splitter.

Bailey looks way diffrent now and he is still only 21 folks ! I'm glad to hear he looks better and I totally agree about being 21. We rushed him last year and I hope we won't do the same thing again. I've got my fingers crossed that Belisle will do a good enough job that we can leave Bailey at AAA this year until September and plan on his being in the rotation next year. |
