2017 Opening Day Roster Taking Shape

And yes, that is an aggressive promotion. It puts him on the doorstep of MLB by 20 if he pitches well this year. Not sure I fully agree with it, but hopefully it works out well.

This is the 'super bowl' of cheerleading for my daughter. Usually disney happens while the braves are down there for spring and it's great because my daughters event is at WWoS too. But this year they changed and now it is after spring and durning the only trip Mississippi has to bham. Pisser.

Disney will be one hell of a consolation. Good luck to your daughter

Whoa.

He continues to be one of our most under rated prospects by the outside sources. With his build, and peripherals to date we could have a real workhorse on our hands.

Counting playoffs, Soroka had a very big workload last year. Over 150 innings. He's one of my favorite prospects, but I think the innings from last year increase the injury risk going forward.

Do you know of any studies with pitchers in the north (GoT).

I haven't seen studies by geography. What I have seen indicates a period of higher vulnerability for pitchers in their teens and early 20s who experience a big increase in workload from one season to the next.
 
Its not Innings Pitched that matters its pitches thrown. A 5 pitch inning is not as taxing as a 10 pitch inning. Innings Pitched and pitches thrown typically scale at the same rate but Soroka was just that much more efficient. He did still have a big workload increase but its not as much as it seems because he was more efficient. 100 pitches over 8 innings is a lot better for the arm than 100 pitches over 5 innings.

So did he become more efficient from 2015 to 2016? If not the innings pitched increase will be mirrored by a pitch count increase.

I'm also guessing that intensity of effort was ramped up in the post-season appearances. And generally intensity of effort is probably correlated with aggressive promotion, and here I'm not talking about his upcoming move to AA but the move from rookie ball to full-season ball as an 18 year old.

You do have to remember that he pitched a good bit before the draft in 2015. So it wasn't an increase from 34 to 150+. It was probably a much more subtle increase than that.

I kind of doubt a Canadian kid pitched much in the spring of 2015.
