Maybe I just luck out getting to see these 7th-round studs. I've got my entry up <a href="http://marinerds.blogspot.com/2006/06/game-report-aquasox-vs-dust-devils.html" rel="nofollow">about the Aquasox game</a>, with a few pictures of Fister. It wasn't five perfect innings, though. Anthony Johnson, the first hitter for the Dust Devils, grounded to short, and Ogui Diaz pretty much just dropped the ball for an error. Fister retired the next 15 guys with 9 strikeouts, 4 ground outs, 2 fly outs.

Age, side he throws from, stuff, how we acquired him? That name doesn't ring a bell for me. Anyone know anything about Doug Fister? Age, side he throws from, stuff, how we acquired him?

Doug Fister is awesome. Awesome awesome. The other pitchers, though... Sure, Colon can throw in the low 90's, but he couldn't throw strikes. Beltran was just plain terrible; the first three batters he faced all hit his first pitch hard, for a single, home run, and double. And this after 5 innings of no-hit ball from Fister and another from Kafka (though I'm not sure I'd call Ari Kafka's inning of no-hit ball particularly good either, he also had command issues). Lo and Moore were the position players I was most impressed with, I think. I like Lo's speed; he charged in to catch a short pop fly that might have been foul, might have been fair, and would have been caught by Yuniesky Betancourt if it had been in Safeco. Moore impressed me behind the plate and with the bat. Given how wild some of those guys were throwing, he did a great job blocking pitches in the dirt and recovering from some of the more ridiculous wild pitches. But, man, Doug Fister. He's awesome. I dunno if I'll finish transcribing my game notes tonight, but the first five innings it's all just K's and "Wow"s.

Halman, Lo and the arms in Everett are the guys to watch.
