Another generation of players that will turn out to stink w/ this org unless they get moved to a better org... We are the AL's version of the Pittsburgh Pirates...

Glad they went pitcher but it seems like a weird gimmick to have. Can’t imagine that is going to work in the pro’s.

So if he has to get Tommy John he can still pitch with the other arm?

My thoughts exactly... I would be more onboard if it was an Ohtani gimmick but throwing from both sides doesn't seem sustainable...

“I had discomfort in my left side in the middle of the season,” Cijntje said. “I was talking to my pitching coach, and he was like, ‘You can just rest now from the left side and you can just focus on the right side.’ Everything is good now.”

Definitely a red flag in my book...

The switch pitcher has 98+ and 4 pitches from the right, and around 95 with really 2 pitches from the left.

So, MLB starter stuff from the right and bullpen stuff from the left.

Sounds like he has potential more than the gimmick angle of going both sides.

But it's a long way to the majors.

So Seattle passes on top bats with the 15th pick for a pitcher ranked lower than our 2nd pick?!? Seems about right with this FO.

[NWinAZ]

The second reliever. How odd is this shit?

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Hope FO selects 10 more relievers

 

[NWinAZ]

I am having Josh Fields flashbacks. Trout who?

I guess we shall see it just seems that with a MLB workload (or just pro ball in general) his body would break down if he stays a starter. Gimmick may have been too harsh of a word cause the talent
