Indians in the mix for Ubaldo?

Taller pitchers usually throw with more ease then the smaller guys, puts lesser wear and tear on the arm and they can last longer. That has a lot to do with it..

I never said they are higher, but I'd assume a guy in Double A with a high 90s fastball would be striking out more guys.

The thing I read said that his height isn't of concern when considering how hard he throws because he has a really strong lower half and a smooth, mechanically sound delivery.

Obviously no pitcher is immune to injury, but he's not forcing the velocity.

Well I guess we'll see when they make the big leagues..

But anyway, on the main topic, even after all of that, I doubt the Indians trade for Jimenez. Even though I'd gladly give up a high potential starter like Alex White/Pomeranz and a few other guys.

I can see this happening

The Indians have the spects for it to happen too
