Nick Pivetta going to Phils. Nats #10 prospect (preseason - BA). You Nats fans know anything about him?
Mejia suspended 162 games after failed PED Test. Come on, dude.

Nick Pivetta, RHP, Nationals (Potamac, A+): 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K. Pivetta is an intriguing young arm in a great, projectable pitcher’s frame, but the stuff is more of a back-end starter than that of a mid-rotation guy.
#Nationals Nick Pivetta FB 91-94 T95(2x); downhill. Arm-side sink in lower velo band. CB 73; soft. Broke Starling's bat w/ 95 on outer half.

Despite the velocity, Pivetta doesn’t miss a ton of bats with his fastball. The movement is good, but not elite. Coupled with a mediocre curveball, it makes for a back-end profile (though he does have a more impressive slider that he’s not using at the moment in deference to the development of his other pitches).
Some nice pitching on display by Miley on Pedro's night. *cue Theo pic from phan*
He's wanted out of Philly for like 2 years. Do you even follow baseball, bro?Why do Philly fans hate Papelbon so much (other than his contract)? Looking at his numbers he hasn't been bad at all in Philly. I get being mad at the contract...I thought it was ridiculous at the time but you can hardly blame him. Has he been a dick?
