Bob Zimmerman is a strong right handed pitcher with a huge frame and dominating speed. He has mid 90's heat with nasty movement. I am just wondering how come he has not been talked about.

Went to look him up and didn't realize how much he'd torn up (in some ways) the AFL. Pomeranz won’t be drafted because of the injury history or the fact that he’ll be on the 40-man?

Get your tickets in the beginning of the season though, as I would bet he joins Colby after a couple months. Everything kinda moves off the Palm Beach rotation. I could easily see Mortensen, Herron, and Furnish getting a bump during the season to make room for the best performers out of the Quad Cities crop. Quad Cities looks like a wild card from this list... I wouldn’t bet on Anderson going up just yet, he is really young for AA.

I live 20 minutes from Springfield, and am pumped about the idea of that SR!!! Too bad Colby and Anderson are going up...bad for me good for the STL. Thanks for all your work Erik and AZ!

Garcia will hopefully start in AAA. Todd is probably ready for PB but I see him in QC. Elvis would then take his place in the PB rotation. While I kind of hope Hooker and Blazek get throw into the fire in QC, I see them going to Batavia. Going off Erik’s list, my thoughts are:

It should read: "One could argue that its too crowded to have those guys start but if you analyze the bullpen picture it may be even more crowded."
