Thoughts on Matt Klinker

[kfm]

I was curious what people thought of Klinker. I watched his last game against Toledo and he pitched very well. He spotted his fastball and had an outstanding overhand curve that batters were having a difficult time squaring up. What do people see as his ceiling?

I think he could be a #3. Good fastball, solid velocity and he can throw it for strikes. Good curveball that he can throw for strikes. Average change up that he can throw for strikes.

Thanks for providing your take. BTW, your site is one of my favorites on the web. Whenever I am talking reds prospects people ask me how I know so much and I mention your site.

Klinker put on the DL tonight with a shoulder issue. It doesn't sound serious at all, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the update.
