People think Hoke is such the great recruiter, but I think it's because most players immediately put OSU out of their picture, so he has a much better chance at getting any prospect from Ohio/Michigan/Pennsylvania area.
They aren't that bad of pitchers. Arroyo has nothing exciting about him. A 88 MPH fastball and nothing like a sweeping curve knuckle, etc. Fausto has a pretty good fastball(IIRC) and so does Scherzer(IIRC) Pettite is a good pitcher too. Arroyo is just old and washed up.
Going to the Reds-Mets game Wednesday. Pretty excited, sitting 15 rows back from the Mets dugout, they are noice seats though.
just checked pitching matchup
Arroyo vs. Pelfrey.
I've litteraly seen Arroyo pitch 3 times in 2 years
