sanchez has talent and is still young. He looks like he's starting to put things together.
With so many valuing patience I think we will see walk and strike out numbers go up. Players are going deeper in counts. And w/o watching these guys who knows what kind of zone they have. The MLB umps are terrible so imagine A ball on a Tuesday afternoon.
Newcomb vs sims in AA...
Newcomb (age 23)...
3.91 era 129.0 ip 106 h 56 er 68 bb 138 k .228 avg 1.35 whip
Sims (age 22)...
2.45 era 77 ip 48 h 21 er 49 bb 87 k .185 avg 1.26 whip
Which one has higher ceiling?
All I can go on is scouting reports, which suggest that Newcomb probably has the higher ceiling. But I don't think Sims is getting his due in prospect rankings.Originally Posted by msstate7
Sept. 1st bring them both up and see who sticks...I mean, it's not like there is anything to loose.
I think we need to keep Newcomb down, but bringing Sims up is a good idea.
Stat scouting sucks all by itself. I've posted numerous scouting reports on Sims and they still hold true. With Newk its walks, Sims too. Difference is, Sims tended to have Whalen-esque innings if someone got a hit. Confidence shot. He's better than before but it rears its head a lot. I don't think its a wide gap, but it's Newk slightly for me.

Newcomb also has less pro experience and is left handed. Overall package a little higher upside. I think he probably would help himself by getting in better shape, but maybe it has nothing to do with it. couldn't hurt.
