Allard was a power pitcher when he was drafted. At 20 he's lost probably 4 MPH off his fastball. I really wonder what's up with that.
Fused vertebrae maybe

I am surprised he didn't get crushed tonight with not his best velocity and not his best change and no curve. But when he is sitting 90-92 mph and has a good change and and great curve I like him. That wasn't the Allard I saw tonight.
This was my first time to see Allard pitch. The stuff didn’t blow me away. If he’s going to be successful, he will have to have top notch control if he can’t add a couple MPH on the fastball. However, I’m not going to say he can’t be successful. Not after one start in the majors. Once he goes back to AAA, he’ll have to continue to learn how to pitch with control.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Kyle Hendricks is the maybe the best aspirational soft throwing comp.
But there are a fair number of veteran types who get by with 89 mph.
But some of those veteran guys learned how to pitch when they broke in, and probably had low 90s stuff. Annibal had really good velocity when he came up. He's now a pitcher.

No wall scraper that.
Camar-GONE!
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Camargo stinks lefty
He did just hit that HR, but I'd like to see Camargo tinker with ditching switch hitting in a winter league after this season.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Camargo heard the posters here tonight and said eat it boys.
