for Tyler Chatwood, this after the Rockies signed Ramon Hernandez to a 2yr deal.

Chatwood sucks. If that's all the Rockies got for Iannetta, I'd call this a decent-sized win for the Angels. -
so a 21 year old rushed to the bigs, owner of a 95 MPH fastball and great curve sucks?Originally posted by Bodhizefa View Post
If he finds his command, I will be bumping this thread.Comment

funny that a baseballthinkfactory commenter described Iannetta as a Napoli type.

that was my first thought.....that DiPoto is making amends here for the horrific Napoli/Wells deal. That's why I believe Mathis is a goner too. Scioscia blew that call big-time.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

Rockies also have Wilin Rosario, a stocky young AA catcher with some pop who got a coffee cup in Sept.
A little surprised they'd spend on an older C at this point. A May-December romance, I guess.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Chatwood sucks, dude. I've never read a single prospect report on him that ever had his potential as higher than a #4 starter, and I hated what I saw from him with my own eyes. If you want to cling to hope just because he can rear back and throw 95 sometimes, so be it. The odds are severely against him ever becoming good, though.Originally posted by owned View PostComment

To add to this, I think Chatwood ends up as a reliever. His ceiling there is much higher and would play better with his limited control and arsenal. There's a chance he's worth it as a late-inning set-up guy, so all may not be lost.Originally posted by Bodhizefa View Post
Another point is perspective. I think the Angels just got a better catcher in Iannetta than the M's got in Jaso, but there's an argument to be made that Josh Lueke is as talented (or moreso) than Tyler Chatwood. I think the Angels did well here.Comment

Was that your scouting report on wild youngsters Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson etc?Originally posted by Bodhizefa View PostComment

Okay, so you're comparing Chatwood's stuff to three Hall of Famers? Are you an Angels fan or drunk? It has to be one or the other.Originally posted by owned View PostComment
