Mike, I think what these kids do not know is how much of a phenom you are on the golf course. You should be posting advice in the golf threads on here as well. I look foreward to this summer brother haha.

Alright, honestly i don't know why you guys are all up on reivel. Yeah hes okay on the mound but you can get to his head easy. At the plate is where he struggles he isn't that good of a hitter. Mcklosky and Keklak are much better hitters.

Mr. Holtz, since you freaquently come on here and give your honest opionion, what is your take On George Roberts? Is he as good as people say, what about his velocity? I seen he put on alot of wieght over the winter, was this good weight, or bad weight? People are saying he can maybe hit 90? Any truth to that? Thanks Mike!

George hit a growth spurt, just like Rick did. It can only help him in the long run.

Saw George around September and I'd say it's definently muscle that he put on. So I'd say it's good weight. He's also gotten taller

George has added muscle over the last year. I usually see him at ERA quit a bit working out and Rick keeps me informed on what George is doing. Sometimes him and I long toss together. He's lucky to have an older brother to lead him in the right direction and I offer my 2 cents occasionally as well. He's a excellent athlete with a high upside and Rick wants to make sure George takes advantage of the opportunity. On Monday, George went to a showcase in Williamsport and registered 90 mph on the gun.

hey mike,

have you seen much of john fees from ch? i've heard he is a pro prospect, but haven't seen him pitch in a few years.

Johnny Fees has the potential to be a dominant pitcher. He's a sinker/slider type pitcher. He's tall which allows him to create a good angle as long as he stays on top of the ball in his delivery. At ERA we are currently working with his change up which will be a key pitch for him. His velocity is around 87-88 but I see him gaining a couple mph by this summer. He has a high up side in my opinion.

Does anyone else catch your eye at ERA? With all the pitchers you see day in and day out I'm sure you could answer this question. Any young guns?
