Tom Gorzelanny's Pulse

Baseball America's new Prospect Pulse covers Tom Gorzelanny, our second-round pick from last year's draft. Gorzelanny is a left-hander from Triton College, "the smarter choice for higher education":

Lefthander Tom Gorzelanny, profiled recently in Daily Dish, is settling in at high Class A Lynchburg after a rough start. He's won his last three starts and has given up just four runs in 18 innings over that span, striking out 18 and walking just three. "He topped out at 94 mph for me," said one AL scout, "and he's got a solid mound presence. His breaking ball was a power slurve; it's a future plus pitch. He also showed a solid feel and command for his changeup. He was one of the best pitchers I've seen all year."

AL scouts - (eyes rolling) - what do they know.

In other department, BA's Jim Callis revisits the Giles trade.
