5’9″ as a Pitcher …..not going to make it….need to be over 6’2″ tall…….5’9″ player is okay as an infielder.

What do you think MLB teams are doing, selling jeans? Don’t be foolish. It doesn’t matter how tall a guy is, if he can pitch he can pitch.
Melvin Mendoza, Jr.
It’s like being a qb in the NFL…it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility, but it puts you at a disadvantage right out of the gate. You really have to be able to deal to make up for it.

Levi’s or Wrangler?
Patrick Beliveau
thats not narrow minded at all…
Hawkeye75
Bobby Shantz was 5’6″ went 119-99 with a 3.38 ERA and struck out 1,072, winning 8 gold gloves.

Marcus Stroman would like to have a word with you.

Quick someone call Whitey Ford, Fernando Valenzuela and Pedro Martinez and tell them they should switch positions.
DodgerBlue83
I would like to add Greg Maddux to that list.
slasher016 2
Johnny Cueto is listed at 5’11” and is one of the better pitchers in baseball.
slasher016 2
Keeping with the Reds theme, Mike Leake is listed at 5’10” and is a very solid pitcher as well.
mrshyguy99
that is not true because look at the rosters right now as i listed above dbacks have a 5’9 pitcher with a era under 3. to name another braves closer is 5’11. what your saying is not true at all
Mark Kelevara
Pedro Martinez, Fernando Valenzuela & Tim Lincecum… What do they all have in common? All three pitchers are 5’11”
Your statement is flawed, my friend.
DippityDoo
lemme guess… every pitcher needs to throw a 95mph fastball or they are worthless as well.
tesseract
For a righty maybe, but there are plenty of short lefties
mrshyguy99
is cuba really that bad that players are leaving left and right
DarthMurph
It’s been that bad for quite a long time. Beautiful country ravaged by a corrupt government.
mrshyguy99
kind of shows since every year you hear about a cuban player leaving
DarthMurph
Their problems go far beyond baseball.
First Bleed
I’m sure you would leave America if someone from another country offered you million$ of guaranteed money to work too.
mrshyguy99
but they arent offer money while in cuba they leave first
mrshyguy99
dodgers got a future player in Álex Guerrero who only 5″10 that might be normal for a position player but still he only 5″10 and he a cuban born player
mrshyguy99
Eury De La Rosa a dback listed at 5’9 who pitching very well i bet we can name many undersize players and that list could be a long one. to add one more Craig Kimbrel 5’11
windwalker
Haven’t seen Ron Guidry on anyone’s list either.
Jordan camacho
Pedro Martinez is listed under 6 ft tall
First Bleed
Hope the Brewers do their homework on Jozzen. They could really use someone at 1B for the next few seasons – IF he is Major League ready.
Sage
Brewers better have been among the 20 teams at the showcase. We have every reason to look at Cuesta, namely that assuming we don’t bring back Lyle Overbay or Mark Reynolds after this season (though I think we should bring Reynolds back), we will have no first baseman. We badly need a first baseman for the future. Thought Hunter Morris was that guy, but I think we’re starting to see that he really isn’t. If Cuesta is even something close to ready for the majors, we need to sign him. This isn’t just something that would be nice, this is a need. We badly need a first baseman, because Reynolds is not that guy for the foreseeable future.
