Now that the draft is over
The signings begin. And as every team is going through this, a shrewd GM might be looking to add a few non-drafted FA's to the minor leagues.
Matt Harrington seems to have turned it around in Ft. Worth. Code:
PITCHER W-L ERA G GS CG SHO SV IP H R ER HR HB BB SO WP OPP. AVG Harrington, Matt 0- 0 1.32 8 0 0 0 0 13.2 7 2 2 1 0 5 16 0 .156 I think he could pitch right now in either high A or AA.

Re: Now that the draft is over
Maybe, but from what I have read, he is barely touching the high 80s with his fastball...

Re: Now that the draft is over
How old is he now, 22?, 23?, 24?, 25?
If he's on the younger side of those numbers, I might take a chance on him.

Re: Now that the draft is over
He's 24. And he has more k's than IP.
Worth a flyer IMO.

The Reds actually drafted him back in 2003, IIRC.

Re: Now that the draft is over
They did, and I think he was largely immature at the time.
a couple of years can be all the difference. BTW the Reds once signed Brett Gray out of the Northern league based on a 25k game he pitched. just sayin' guys with a .90 WHIP and better than a K an inning are worth a flyer on.

Re: Now that the draft is over
I would rather sign the 24-year old Harrington than the 24-year old 10th round pick, Roenicke.

Re: Now that the draft is over
Jeremy Schmidt, James Avery, Brock Till, Wayne Lundgren.
fodder all. Harrington MIGHT be something. it's worth a plane ticket for a scout to see if he has anything left.
