Casey Meisner traded to A's for some bullpen arm

jewcer2k5 · 07-27-2015, 05:28 PM

Hey thanks everyone for the PM's, texts and phone calls. I appreciate the sorrow but all in all he goes to a pitching friendly environment and most likely becomes the A's #1 pitching prospect.

Could be a lot worse.

SaveMeTheGum · 07-27-2015, 05:29 PM

... yeah. You could have collected Andrew Toles...

It will be easier to but not in a rush. Still think he has a special arm. Just picked up a large color lot of him end of last week.

I believe I am over 20% of his blue, gold and orange's at this point.

Holy geez that'd be hard at karaoke...

Time for Meisner to transcend local appeal a la Chris Sale and (getting there) Sonny.

vwnut13 · 07-27-2015, 06:14 PM

Not just any bullpen arm, they got The Yankees' Clippard!

exitmusicblue · 07-27-2015, 06:18 PM

The wiki nerds are quick, Meisner now in the Green & Gold page

This is a really good opportunity for Meisner. The Mets' current rotation is so good and so young that it would've been tough for him to crack.

Much better chance in Oakland.

Agreed.

Pray Meisner at least stops there and doesn't go from Oakland to Tampa Bay...

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but from my experience, this guy knows his stuff:

@kileymcd: Saw Meisner yesterday. 40 FV/backend SP. V long frame, huge plane, trouble repeating, 90-93 t94, avg CB, fringe CH

I'll go with Keith Law's "what are the Mets doing?' take

Law is annoying to me in terms of prospect value. He ranked Kyle Schwarber #90 at the beginning of the season. I read his stuff because it does have an impact on prices though.

Agree with that one. Just from my experience though, Law is not the best.

He's a 6'7" string bean.

Look at his entire season (not yesterday) seems like he was repeating just fine. Curveball was way above average.

Yesterday was by far worst start

jewcer2k5 · 07-27-2015, 07:28 PM

That albies who is a top 50 prospect. Seems above average.

VandyCards · 07-27-2015, 07:33 PM

Kileys pretty good. I think most of his connections are area scouts and crosscheckers. Law I think has more GM contacts. I'm more inclined to believe Kiley on current status/stuff appraisals, and Law on organizational perspectives.

That said, tall lefties take a long time to develop, especially wit regard to repeatable mechanics. Also being a back end starter means you're one of the 120 best pitchers on earth. Nothing wrong with that.
