Tyler Kolek, RHP

I can't imagine any front office would rank Nicolino over Heaney. I can't imagine what possible reasoning there would be for doing so. It's beyond any logic I could conceive of.

According to Larry, Dodger's originally asked for Nicolino and we offered Heaney instead.

Take it for what it's worth, but he does apparently know somebody who works with the Marlins and post things before news breaks often.

LIES!!! Told u this last year when it happened that they liked Nicolino more

They also thought Desco and Eovaldi were better in the pen which is why they were dealt for SP

It really doesn't shock me with the Marlins at all, sadly.

I hadn't checked on Heaney thus far this season. I just looked it up. Now I'm sad.

good thing we passed on Rodon because this dude was the #17 prospect in the South Atlantic League according to BA

Greenville fielded a loaded lineup that featured four of the top 10 prospects in the league, and plenty of shortstops littered SAL rosters, but when it came to pitching, the league was lacking. Some of the pitchers with top-of-the-scale fastballs, such as Greensboro’s Tyler Kolek, Rome’s Touki Toussaint and Greenville’s Michael Kopech, need to develop their control and secondary pitches.

Kolek would probably miss the can.

He'd miss the can but it'd miss at an incredible speed.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Tyler Kolek, the Marlins' top prospect, is experiencing discomfort in his right elbow, and he is being examined by team doctors. The concern is the 20-year-old will need surgery, but more could be known Monday after he is examined.

The second overall pick in the 2014 MLB Draft, Kolek is a hard-throwing right-hander who ranks No. 1 on the organization's prospect list, according to MLBPipeline.com. He hurt his arm on Friday.


The Marlins have been weighing whether to start Kolek off at Class A Advanced Jupiter or Class A Greensboro, where he made 25 starts and posted a 4.56 ERA in 2015.


From Shepherd, Texas, Kolek had his fastball clocked at 102 mph as a prep standout. Since turning pro, he's been dealing with command issues, especially with his offspeed pitches.


Kolek has made 34 Minor League appearances (33 starts), logging 130 2/3 innings. He's struck out 99 and walked 74.

First game back and got destroyed!! Its like he never even was hurt

Last time Kolek pitched, Michael Morse was on the team and Justin Bour was entering his first year as a starter for the Marlins.

Carlos Rodon is in his third major league season with the Chicago White Sox.

I'm just glad to know he still exists.
