To me, that means people saw him at Potomac and saw a little something that caught there eye. Regardless of how good or bad he is, he may be trending upward while all of those DFAed guys are clearly trending downward related to Mock. Looking at Mock’s data, we don’t have but so much to go on with him. But we’ve all seen him pitch and know he has some stuff and intriguing enough to give a go round in Syracuse.

Seems to me upon reflection that Barthmaier is a Harrisburg starter with a little bit of intrigue but I’m curious to see what people who’ve scouted say about him. I don’t know if Tatusko or Roark has any chance to make Syracuse as well.

Regardless, there’s a whole bunch of questions at Harrisburg and Syracuse and I’m interested to see how the organization reacts.

My inquiries on Barthmaier are basically a heads up to anybody whose seen him in person to give us some kind of scouting report. Velocity, control, what he features, etc. etc.

Like I said, I don’t know much about him but I’m curious why you invest in rehabbing a guy like that if he’s only organizational depth. At this point, pretty much all of the DFAed guys are organizational depth.

Interesting to me how Severino continues to survive. I guess they feel somebody might pick him up as a LOOGY or something?
