    Trevor Bauer, Indians

    Ride this guy before the books catch up. Ive been high on him ever since the Indians got him in a trade 2 years ago. He was a phenom out of UCLA who boasted 10 different pitches... he's an eccentric guy who was doing it his way and it wasnt quite working. He has now dwindled down to 6 different pitches and is now taking the coaching and looked tremendous all spring. Dude has a no-no with 10Ks through 5 innings right now. He will win 15 games, have 200 Ks, and have an ERA under 3.00 this year... possible top 5 in Cy Young, just wait.

    Walks too many people. Houston's lineup is Altuve & 8 windmills. Once he goes up against a more patient lineup, we'll see what he's made of

    Well, the Astros have a single A lineup it looks like... Luis Valbuena batting 3rd? Dear God.

    5 walks though... Joe Saunders could strike out 11 Astros.

    Bauer isn't even the 3rd best SP on his own team. Kluber, Carrasco & even McAllister better. When Salazar is ironed out, he'll be better too.

    Tribe starting pitching is loaded. You are right all those guys are better than Bauer right now, but Im expecting big things from him this year. 15 wins, 200 Ks, ERA under 3.00... we'll see how it goes.

    Dbacks tried to shop this guy forever. Maybe he got his stuff together, but he's a clubhouse cancer, doesn't listen to pitching coaches, control is so-so, misses badly when he does which = more pitches and more walks.

    he's changed... thats why Im big on him. Hes still wild with his command, but he is coachable now. Only throws 5 or 6 pitches instead of 10 now, haha

    If he gets it under control, he will be great. Same with Salazar. Right now, both guys throw too many pitches. Need better efficiency.
