Poor Kazmir 🙁
Grant Harrigan
You know you’re bad when the Astros are not impressed….
Lastings
“The Astros have already seen Scott Kazmir throw…”
In other words, they have had their fair share of throwers over the past couple of seasons and actually want to bring in pitchers…

I’d like to see Dmitri Young get a shot with someone.

I dont see why the Astros wouldnt take a shot on Kazmir…best case scenario he has a decent first half and they can flip him to a contender. Not like he will be making big money. What ever happened to Dmitri Young?
jmag043
Isn’t he throwing in the high 70s or something?
Casmir Valeri
I heard he was throwing 82-85mph.
So sad to see such a stud of a pitcher just a couple years ago get to this point.
That’s what happens with a smaller body, a hard thrower, plus a lot of innings and sliders at an incredibly young age leads to.

How about Victor Zambrano? Now he was a stud for the Mets…
Casmir Valeri
Smaller frames (6’0 or less) with hard pitching in a starting role usually don’t add up.

They watched him throw 2 weeks ago. It isn’t necessarily that they aren’t interested, they’re just ahead of everybody else(due to already being in Houston where he lives).
They also reportedly held a secret tryout for Dmitri Young.
(I’d post a link for that, but I did that last night and apparently TCB isn’t one of the sites you’re allowed to link to.)

I’d like to see the Reds sign Dmitri to a minor league contract. He would get his chance and it would be a low risk move for Cincy.

No. Just no. That’s a wasted spot at AAA that a legitiment prospect could have.

According to this, Kazmir signed w/ the Mets 1/10/12. baseballprospectus.com/transactions/index.php?x=t
Melvin McMurf
will anybody be there to Scott throw?

Roy Hobbs had “Wonderboy.” Dmitri Young has “Wonderbread.” Kinda sorry the Bucs didn’t take a chance on him. Woulda been interesting.
