A better Jamie Moyer?
Sign Milone to a 25-year extension
His S/O per 9 innings is astounding compared to the stuff he has.
I don't think he will keep up the K's as he advances.
You're right. He seems to be improving with every level he goes.2009 (A+) - 6.3 K/92010 (AA) - 8.8 K/92011 (AAA) - 9.5 K/9
i ment advances pro. But, ok. I'm sure a soft throwing lefty will strikeout a lot of pros.
I'm not sure the pool of natural "soft-throwers" that get the opportunity to face MLB batters (he already is facing pro batters) is sufficient to make such a judgement. Also, I doubt that tons of soft-throwers fit Milones exact MiLB profile. He has been pretty astounding.
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/chat/chat.php?chatId=855Sorry if this has already been posted, and take it for what it's worth - I'm posting it without prejudice:----------Charlie (Bethesda, MD): Do you think Tom Milone can spin his high K/9 and low BB/9 into major league success? Or is the high-80s just too slow for a major league starter?Kevin Goldstein: Maybe as a No. 5. MAYBE.------------
I know a lot of people think Peacock should be next in line for a major league start... but I still hope Milone gets a shot sometime soon.2011 Season7-5, 3.16 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 107/7 K/BB, 9.35 K/9, 0.61 BB/9, 15.28 K/BB, 0.52 HR/9
2011 Season107/7 K/BB, 9.35 K/9, 0.61 BB/9, 15.28 K/BB, 0.52 HR/9
Tom Milone interviewed after the game says he is ready for the next level. Bring him up followed by Peacock shortly afterward.
