    I remember being really excited about him. He came to Norfolk and pitched and I bought the suite behind home plate to watch him pitch. He was all over the place, his velocity had dropped to 92 mph, and he was actively angry after about every play.

    RIP. This is sad. And odd.

    RIP Jose. Was really excited to see this guy come up, all the hype was about his arm, how hard he threw, how much upside there was. Dominated in the minors and was fast tracked to the majors, wonder if that really didn't hinder his development the most. Had a big fastball but that was it, couldn't locate it nor locate his breaking stuff and got pounded my MLB hitters and didn't necessarily seem to have a great attitude or mound presence either.

    Still remember the day he was called up against the Expos I think it was. Got rocked. i think Vidro owned him. So much Shanks hype. Someone actually referenceshim in the game thread yesterday comparing his straight fastball to Jaime.
