I love this line about the "project" otherwise known as Veal's bid to make the team:
[The Pirates] did not fully grasp how much of a project until new pitching coach Joe Kerrigan and minor league pitching coordinator Troy Buckley began working with him
Also a keeper:
his control issue was easy to detect with the occasional ball flying well over the catcher's head.
The coaches are talking about a more mechanical approach to pitching, while Veal is talking about being less mechanical. Things are off to a great start.

Ha!
I was wondering, have you heard the rumblings about HIT f/x?
Love your site, I have it on RSS, check it a couple times a day. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the note. Yep, hit f/x has been rumbled about quite loudly and now it's a roar. Some very smart people are trying to figure out how to estimate spin, which will add a very key dimension to hit f/x. Even without that, it will be great.
