I wonder which mentions I like. Hmmm.

No love for Jay Austin.

Jaypers · Jan 7, 2011

Just for you, Mike.

JAYPERS (IL): If you had to compare Lyles to any established major leaguer at this stage of his career, who would it be and why? Thanks John.

John Manuel: I didn't get a comp, Jaypers, and I'm not coming up with one off the top of my head, a tall RHP with an avg FB and above-average secondary stuff. Stuff-wise, he seems pretty close to Jeremy Hellickson, but he's taller and actually doesn't throw as hard. But stuff-wise, that might be a good comp.

That projected 2014 lineup will lose 125 games

So Nash has the power and was MVP for his team... but not projected in their top 10... bummer

If he puts up his speed numbers and gets a little more power at the AA level he will get some love.
