Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

Mark Rogers makes the Monday Morning 10 Pack

Yet another prospect getting some pub, which has not been frequent this year in the Brewers system. Kevin Goldstein mentions Rodgers in his prospects article on Baseball Prospectus.  The article is subscription only, so here is the goods:

Mark Rogers, RHP, Brewers (High-A Brevard County)
The fifth overall pick in 2004, Rogers has had more arm problems than space allows to document here. His comeback this year after not pitching at all in the last two seasons has gone from a nice story on a personal level to a nice story on a pure baseball level. His start on Saturday, when he fired four shutout innings, established a new season high with 21, despite the fact that his extremely strict pitch count has him averaging less than three innings per game. That said, he's been awfully effective in his 57 2/3 innings, striking out 59 while putting up a 1.72 ERA and getting his fastball into the mid-90s at times. There's something here, but we probably won't know what until next year.

fingers crossed

its already great that he made his way back (by back, I mean actually pitching), but here’s to hoping he can contribute in the future. 2011 starter? Knock on wood.
