Will Palazzone Sign?

Its more than likely that we will not know till the eleventh hour. Until then, does anyone have any inside information or news regarding Michael Palazzone? I know that the braves watched him over the summer to determine whether or not to sign him but I do not know what the verdict was. Lets hope we can get this guy signed.

Offer

There apparently is an offer for $200,000 on the table but it doesn’t look like that will be enough to get him to sign and keep him from UGA

I sure hope he signs. He looks very similar to a certain giants pitcher who has an extremely funky delivery and when drafted out of high school threw low 90’s with a big curve. Sound familiar? Heres a video of Palazzone if u havent seen one yet.

You happen to read the article Verducci wrote about said pitcher?

I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

I just read it..

this week (I’m a little behind with my magazines). I thought it was fascinating, and it seems like the answer is there for the huge number of pitchers with elbow and shoulder problems.

It would be interesting to get Lincecum’s dad’s take on Palazzone’s delivery.

The SI one? yes i did. Watch the video and look at the stride length. Lincecum’s stride is some 170 percent of his body length and Palazzones has got to be near that.
