Yes, Balentien is a righty. He unfortunately never came into his own. He was labeled as a plus plus power player and has a rocket arm, but he never developed a great eye for the off speed pitches and swings right through them. It’s not to say that he still can’t, he is still very young. He just needs to put some work into it. As for the fastball, as I said earlier in the article, he can hit that as far as anybody in the league no matter the speed. Alright that sounds great I will definitely give your stuff a look. As for Donald, I can see how you would think Washburn is not worthy of a prospect with Donald’s capability. He is a wonderful talent. An article was just released on foxsports.com, and it said that the Mariners GM has said that the Mariners other young talent are now available as well. Those players would include; Sean White, Mark Lowe, and Brandon Morrow. So I wonder if those could possibly be in a deal that I envision with the Phillies. Again we will see. Thanks

Hey any time, check out some of my stuff over at TBOH. Again, the Washburn would most likely be the Phils 3rd choice, but I really see no way that they give up Donald and someone else for Washburn and Balentien. Is Balentien a righty?

I get what your talking about. Blanton has been pitching phenomenal baseball as of lately. We will just have to wait it out and see what the deadline brings to us. Thanks again for the comment Brant
