Did MLB see it as well, or was he always committed to making it to campus?

I heard that teams were worried about the velo drop, especially last spring. He went from throwing high 90's at PG nationals to low 90's in a pretty quick fashion which spooked teams

So much of a kids draft stock is a combination of his recent outings and his asking price.

The worst thing that can happen to a kid who already needs to learn to pitch is to see velo drop in a large way. Laz already had reliever risk and a kid asking for seven figures on the basis of his arm strength all of a sudden becomes a high follow when that arm strength goes away.

Personally I think DeRias ends up taking over midweek innings. Mikey Fernandez looks to be a big factor in the bullpen. All the others will get innings here or there in the pen, and if I was to take a guess as to who jumps up it would be Ciscar

DeRias has a long long way to go before he takes over the midweek games. We would go 2-12 with him right now as the midweek guy. His velo and stuff is there, just no control at the moment

Seriois question,

Would any of th3se kids play their spot in the rotation for a top 10 team? Like would our Friday night be able to be the Friday night at a top 10 team? Sunday pitcher be the Sunday pitcher at an elite team?

Unfortunately You know the answer to that

Hire the pitching coach though!
 
How about this....would any of these three starters been a starter on last years team? Probably not!
I'm hoping that Walters can go 15-16 outs so our bullpen has a chance to salvage a win on Sunday's.
We can't have a situation like last year and we lose the game in the 3rd inning on Sunday.
Who ever the midweek starter is next week, get them into the game for an inning on Friday or Saturday.

I completely checked when they hired that dude, do I really don't know the team or expect much fron them.

Was seriously asking about the starters talent, and gather from your response, it's no Bueno.

Would have to ask the guys that are around the team often… but you would have to request them to take the orange and green shades off first. From my point of view none of them are weekend guys on any team with a pulse. Maybe walters is a Sunday guy on a legit squad if he heals up properly but the other 2 are mid week guys at best

I would say Walters and Hugus have legit shots to be in that conversation. Both of them have the ceiling to do so. What hinders them might be their ability to go deep into games. If they can prove that, then they can be talked about in that regard
 
How:many years in a row are we going to trot out starters that will average going 5 innings?

It has gotten old, but to be fair, Gage was the exception. He threw 192 innings his last two seasons (went 6 IP or more in 13 of 15 starts for a really bad team last year; 5 - 3 w a sub 4.00 ERA).

That's what we should have/expect from all the weekend guys if we want to be relevant again.
