I got this off of my fantasy baseball site, but thought this might be worth a look for anyone that is thinking of taking the Dodgers tonite...
Apr. 4: A major league scout speaks (using 20-80 scale, 50 average): "I'm feelin' a lot of compassion for this guy. All of his pitches are below-average with the exception of his splitter which is a 70-75. The velocity isn't there--the one Bonds homered off looked like a batting-practice pitch. One of his pitches was 51 mph, and two were in the 60s. It looked like he was really favoring his arm on those pitches. He could be having a problem with his elbow."
Fantasy Spin: I also got a good look at Nomo, and he looked awful--barely topping 80 mph with his fastball, and struggling to throw strikes. Be safe, bench him next week. (David Srinivasan/TSN)
