Adenheart's Start

Yesterday Nick Adenheart started against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Adenheart actually looked very good despite giving up 4 runs. He gave up few walks and had very good control. He was very very good early in the count, he almost always got first pitch strikes and seemed to be quite confident with the breaking ball and the fastball. The one thing he was lacking the entire game was the pitch to close the door. Every single big hit he gave up came with two strikes and he would just leave one hanging or throw a fastball high. So if Nick can find a way to just close the door he'll have nothing to worry about. On the same note Nick couldn't compete with batters after throwing 5 or 6 pitches to them. If a batter had a long at bat and saw 5 or 6 pitches he was almost guarenteed a hit. So the youngin didn't do as bad as the score said, if he eliminates a few mistakes he would have 6 K's instead of 4+ runs.

Huh?

I read the box and it said he gave up 7 runs. The question remains: can a AA player jump to the majors? Seems like he might need a bit more seasoning. It would surprise me if Nick was the fifth starter. I think he'll start in AAA and the Angels will manage with what they have. My guess is that Moseley will be the 5th starter.

Maybe not the most encouraging example

But what about Black Magic circa 2005?
