What the hell is with Meyer's throwing motion?!?

No wonder he can't repeat it, he's spazzing all over the place.

8 fastball from Hart.

Nice.

He went to KY after the Sox had offered $2MM for him (a 20th round selection, I think).

Gammons looks for him to be in the bullpen.

#Nationals thought about taking Alex Meyer at 6 at one point, instead get him at 23, to add to Rendon. That is a good night. #mlbdraft

Meyer, of course, is a Boras client.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #484 on:** June 06, 2011, 09:15:05 pm »

Another Boras client for Rizzo

Oh my gosh Alex Meyer is from Greensburg, Indiana. That's literally 25 miles from where I was born.

Talked with some Braves the other day and they spoke at length about the promise they see in the Nationals, in the next few years.

another year of the mlb draft, another year we pwn souls. hopefully these kids (and the current ones we have) will help us sooner rather than later at the big league level.

PatsNats28 · « **Reply #490 on:** June 06, 2011, 09:16:01 pm »

His motion is weird, but ok. I hope he doesn't turn out to be a reliever.

He has the power stuff to close if he doesn't make it as a starter

How so? We've spent on the draft the last few years, even LAC has to admit that much.

i can't pronounce his name, but the Rays got a good pick. he was top 10-15 on some boards.

i have and i will. for the most part we've done a great job with drafts all across the board (scouting, selecting, seeding, signing).
