The Book on Mitch Talbot
Prospect Info
Mitch Talbot
Born 8/17/1983
RHP, CLE
Where does Tampa find these kids? Over a statistically significant 500 innings pitched, Talbot's strikeout ratio is over 4, his WHIP is under 1.3, and his potential to break into a major league rotation is very very high, especially for such a young pitcher. His recent trade to Cleveland only accelerates his likely arrival, though the less-magical coaching and development staff could hinder his potential.

Player Updates and Notes
The Indians have selected Mitch Talbot as the player received in the Kelly Shoppach trade. Tablot took a stumble last season, but remains a quality prospect with strikeout skills and bulldog determination. He should do well in Cleveland's system.
