Spencer Adams: The View from the Doorstep of the Majors

Spencer Adams: The View from the Doorstep of the Majors
While guys like Nolan Ryan cause scouts, pitching coaches and baseball executives to salivate, it’s often guys like Mark Buehrle that become fan favorites.  With flamethrowers like Michael Kopech and Dylan Cease capturing the headlines, it’s possible a pitchability guy sneaks into the starting rotation and remains a fixture for a few years or a...
