Right. No comparison between guys like Percival and Hoffman who were soft tossers in their twilight. Both could bring it when they were Boone’s age.

Two pitchers that generate a ton of velocity from there small frames.

Pedro Martinez says hello. Not that C-Mart is Pedro but that guy was dominant in the steriod era being 5-11 170. He was just fine as a starter.

He was a different pitcher after the comeback, but in his Angels prime Percival was a flamethrower—FanGraphs has his average fastball velocity still over 95 miles per hour until he turns 34.

You obviously haven’t learned to read sarcasm. Apparently a lost art on the internet these days.

Here come’s the mixed opinions on Martinez being a closer again. Martinez’s size and small frame shouldn’t concern you the way he’s polished up this season. Look at other quality starting pitchers who have small frames that have showed to be innings eaters. Pedro Martinez, Tim Lincecum, and even Joe Kelly has a small frame. Carlos Martinez will be a starter long term.

Well that was mighty honest of you, but thanks anyway. My point being that as great as Percival was as a closer, his stuff was no faster then Boone’s or at least to the best of my recollection.

Geez, Kozma could barely hit his weight in Memphis. Even Greene had ‘career’ games with the Cards, when everyone thought….hey…he’s finally going to reach his potential and then he went back to being Tyler Greene. I wouldn’t fall in love with Kozma just yet.

Pete Kozma aka the ghost of Jeff Luhnow is staking his claim to the position!!! That or Kozma is making a run for T. Greene’s roster spot in Houston.
