lol go ahead and run the queries yourself. If you add enough qualifiers you will come up with a list that has Newk in the top half!

I'm just of the opinion Newcomb is turning in a damn good rookie season. Sorry that offends you
 
How many lefty starting pitchers averaged a FB with more velocity this year?

I've already broken down Newk's stuff. He has plus velocity (grade 60+). It is not elite (grade 75+).

Facts are facts, no matter how hard you shake your pompoms.

Your plus is thethe's elite. Maybe "elite" was a bad choice of a word, but Newcomb is above avg and certainly good enough there to make it

Newk has 2 plus pitches that are good enough for him to be a 3 win 2-pitch guy if his control improves to average or better. If his control only improves to Gio-level, he can be a solid 2 win guy.

Most likely he stays in the 4-5 BB/9 range and is a BP arm.m

You're certainly free to get excited about that if you want.

Thank you for your permission. I bet you're a blast to be around
 
I love our bullpen. Really think viz, ramirez, winkler, freeman, lindgren, and minter are gonna be really, really good next season. Hope we sign a good reliever anyway, so we can flip him if we aren't in contention
 
I wanted to see what happened when pitchers started to throw Swanson 25%+ sliders again. I got what I asked for...unfortunately.
