i voted god

He can't handle a major league workload and he's too young and fragile.

[/ QUOTE ]

That only applies to Phil Hughes.

Impressive numbers but have you seen the guy pitch? He is gonna blow his shoulder out after his rookie year with his size and over-the-top delivery. As someone who did blow out his shoulder and a Giants fan, I hope this doesn't happen of course.

His mechanics grade out as A++ by scouts and statheads across the board. You don't need to worry about his mechanics. He's not Felix Hernandez. If there's a concern, it's his size(5'11'' 160) but his mechanics are near flawless. No need to see monsters on the bed with this guy - regular injury risk for pitchers is all you need to worry about.

Haha a lot of these guys have probably never pitched an inning in their life. Everyone's arm is different obv but unless he has changed his delivery since college, I still think it is a concern with his size.
