Fantasy Baseball Mlb Dynasty Diaries

After five-plus innings and 89 pitches, rookie phenom Rick Porcello was removed from his major league debut Thursday in Toronto. The 20 year-old had what I would call a good rookie outing, and you can see why the Tigers were so quick to promote him to their big league rotation.

Porcello had solid stuff and good location for the majority of his first five innings. He's got good sinking action, in addition to running the two-seam fastball in on right-handed hitters. His fastball lived in the low-to-mid-90s (mostly between 91-94), and he showed some confidence in his curveball.

Evan Longoria was a highly-touted prospect entering last season. At the end of the season he was a Rookie of the Year who had played a huge role in getting the Tampa Bay Rays into the World Series (if only you could time travel and read that sentence last year at this time). Obviously, the fantasy owners who were fortunate enough to take the risk on Longoria early last season were the beneficiaries of sweet dividends.

If you want to find a Longoria for this season, look no further than the top prospect in baseball: Orioles' catcher, Matt Wieters.
