Q: Sam from Huntington Beach asks:
how do u think Collin Balester is comming along i mean he did stuggle in the
start of the year in High A then he went great for the rest then called up to
AA and had a 1.83 era in 3 starts what do u think of him ??
A: John Manuel: He's the best of a bad lot, that organization is hurting, a
lot of players took steps back this year. It seems like he had enough good
stretches where one can still be encouraged, plus he's still just 20.
Q: Craig from Vancouver asks:
Hi John, How much does it hurt an organization long-term if the do not sign
their early round picks? I read recently that the Nats did not sign Sean
Black (2nd round pick) and wonder how harmful that is to their minor league
system.
A: John Manuel: It depends on the situation. The Nats had some extra picks,
they also were active in Latin America, but they need talent; they are
frankly desperate for it. So I think it hurts them to lose Black. Their
system had a very rough year, unfortunately.
Q: sam from Huntington Beach asks:
so ur saying Collin Balester isnt a good pitcher bc everytime i ask u a
question u never have n e thing good to say about him all u say is that the
org sucks... so u think he has no chance of being good or what
A: John Manuel: No, I like Balester, but it's hard to get too excited about
his year, the 5.00 ERA, the lack of K's. I'll stop complimenting him
backhandedly--he's got a heavy, heavy fastball and seems mentally tough to
handle the trials and tribulations of a difficult year, responding to his
Double-A promotion by pitching his best ball of the year. That's very
encouraging.
