Drop Junior Fernandez Ass Joe Musgrove Not often a sickels' #36 prospect is on waivers, so I will bite. knew you'd add him, lol. owning him in one league was enough, so left him alone on monday...and passed him by in dynasty a couple of times...before you gave him to ur brother, that is. anyhow, like with Clevinger, sickels is grossly overrating some of these pitchers.

Throwback Jered Weaver-like with that circle change and 92-94 heat.

that's the thing...his ceiling is mid rotation, which to me is the ceiling of a #3. that said, there's still value there...obviously...where conversely, he's got a floor that's significantly higher than most of his contemporaries. anyhow, it's interesting how the various pundits rate the same guys so differently...and how some will roll the dice with upside/ceilings, while others place more value on the higher floor/lower risk variable. i guess balance is key.
btw, read something interesting that relates to these types of pitchers. basically the guy was saying that quite a few "average" pitching prospects will look dominant at points in the minors if they have a legitimate plus secondary offering, like a Manny Banuelos with his changeup. however, as they climb to the show, simply having the plus secondary pitch to get by on isn't enough...and thus they become lower rotation guys, at best. in other words, they eventually are what their scouting reports said they were (for the most part). there's more to it, obviously...but a wicked change or slider, located and executed well, can make an average pitcher with an average fastball look pretty great at times in the minors, where the majority of young hitters aren't ready to handle/adjust to it quite yet.

Yeah, I can think of a dozen guys that fit that profile. For Musgrove, I think it was more injury than meh stuff. He was a hard throwing first rounder that ended up giving up velo for command/control. With his size and delivery he's probably throwing low 90's at 80% effort and using a wide arsenal of average stuff. A bit different from a 2-pitch prospect but nevertheless an interesting case study.

Joe Musgrove | Rank: 8 ETA: 2016 Position: RHP Age: 23 DOB: 12/04/1992 Bats: R Throws: R Height: 6' 5" Weight: 265 lb. Drafted: 2011, 1st Sup (46) - TOR VIDEO Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 70 | Overall: 50
Signed by the Blue Jays for a well below-slot $500,000 as a supplemental first-round pick in 2011, Musgrove was part of a seven-player package the Astros acquired a year later for J.A. Happ, Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter. He spent three years in Rookie ball while battling shoulder and elbow issues and didn't reach full-season ball until 2015. He broke out when he did, rising to Double-A while going 12-1, 1.88 with a 99/8 K/BB ratio in 100 2/3 innings.
Musgrove's outstanding control is more impressive than any of his individual pitches. He has a clean delivery and repeats it at will, allowing him to pound the bottom of the strike zone. His stuff isn't bad either: his 90-95 mph fastball plays up because of its life and command, his curveball is solid second pitch and both his slider and changeup qualify as average.
Musgrove has a ceiling of a mid-rotation starter and is a good bet to reach it. Though he has a big frame that should lend itself to durability, he still has to prove he can hold up for a full-season workload. While he hasn't had any arm problems since 2013, he spent two stints on the disabled list last year with a groin injury and worked just 252 innings over his first five seasons.
