I'll see what I can do.<BR/><BR/>As for the big signings last year, most of them are preparing for their first professional season. The only one here in Peoria right now is Adys Portillo, who has had three outings. He's been up to 95 mph already and has looked good despite being much younger that anyone else here.Paul DePodestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02560758061177027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-35452724286552149912009-03-26T19:23:00.000-07:002009-03-26T19:23:00.000-07:00I am excited about Watt.

I would really appreciate it if you could make this a regular habit of posting these your blog. Oh and if you could get a nice HD camcorder that would be even better! Any updates on the big international prospects we signed last year? Haven't seem too much about them. Thanks again Paul, keep up the good work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521565092393314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-28792185766268723902009-03-25T19:55:00.000-07:002009-03-25T19:55:00.000-07:00You have set the bar now.

I think that's huge in the development of a young pitcher.<BR/><BR/>When Harrinton seemed to miss with the catcher was setting up inside (he went up & away) the catcher went right back to down & in (which is good to a righty) and he made a good pitch.<BR/><BR/>Do minor league catchers set up earlier that guys in the majors? I know this varies from catcher to catcher and wind up vs stretch. Just curious if the philosophy is different when you're trying to help teach young pitchers to hit their spots vs seasoned vets.<BR/><BR/>Just seemed to me that the catcher set up a tiny bit earlier than you'd see a big league guy set up.<BR/><BR/>Not sure if it was the camera angle but it appears that Watt throws across his body sometimes (hard to tell though with the angle).<BR/><BR/>Good stuff.Steve24https://www.blogger.com/profile/18331925011982529563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-85132393758068077992009-03-25T12:22:00.001-07:002009-03-25T12:22:00.001-07:00Nice!Nice!Telemachushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604925722607159436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-82419857117725348452009-03-25T12:22:00.000-07:002009-03-25T12:22:00.000-07:00Paul,Would love to see you do posts with your answ...Paul,<BR/>Would love to see you do posts with your answer on each poll after when the poll closes.
