"Kimbrel comes from a three-quarters delivery and generally sits in the 93-95 mph range with his fastball, which has outstanding movement, tailing in on righty hitters. In fact, the ball appears to stay up and defy gravity. It's a little tough to pick up, and on occasion he has dialed it up to 98 mph. Then again, he also has had to back it down to the 90-92 mph range just to locate it. You can call his breaking ball whatever you want -- scouts generally note it as a slider, Kimbrel calls it a curve -- but batters just call it nasty. One scout referred to the pitch as a "knuckle-slurve," the first time I had heard that term, and it does seem to fit since it has tight sweep across the strike zone. He also has a rarely used changeup that pales in comparison to his other two offerings."

"He has a chance to be an almost untouchable reliever in the big leagues, but I can't overlook the control issues at the moment, and that's why my short-term outlook for him isn't as promising as his raw ability would dictate. One comparison I've heard is Joel Zumaya, and I kind of like that one."

I liked this kid when he was coming up and I hope he finds his way with the Royals., but seriously Kansas City? Seriously? Another?

Braves Interested in Dominican Shortstop Edward Salcedo. This sounds like fun.
