The Edge of Seventeen: David Roseboom

[Edgy MD]

The world needs lefthanded relievers, and I'm one of those. I'm one of those that puts up insanely low ERAs. 1.15 for Savannah in 2015 ... RoseBOOM! 1.87 for Bingo in 2016 ... RoseBOOM! 0.79 for Scottsdale in the 2016 Arizona Fall League. RoseKA-BOOM!

Yeah, I didn't fare so well in the second half of 2015 for St. Lucie, but hiccups can happen after a promotion. I went right on up to Bingo and wiped out the Eastern League, didn't I?

Listen, I'm from Troy, New York. Ninety minutes from Cooperstown. This isn't just what I do. It's my destiny. And I think I can do it in the big town, and I'm growing a dumb beard in preparation. What do you think?

Um.......no. Hasn't looked particularly ready in ST.

Honestly say I have never heard of him , I have watched barely any ST games though

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We saw him pitch on TV yesterday, seems to have a little more zip on the ball than say Jack "Chipotle" Leathersich did, but they were hitting it. Needs a full season of season-ing.

Got himself onto the prospect radar this year, but 2017 will be a year of auditioning for a 2018 call-up.

Later
