Re: A nice writeup primarily on Clarke
The tools sound great and exciting. I hope he reaches and maintains that level but that medical history is compelling. In particular that thoracic outlet problem that sent Chris Carpenter to retirement. He's a lottery ticket with a very high upside. Better getting someone like him than a Fedde type.

Re: A nice writeup primarily on Clarke
He’s exactly the kind of prospect we needed to target. High upside guy with top of rotation stuff. Just have to help him get there.
Re: A nice writeup primarily on Clarke
I like them going for high risk/high ceiling guys bubt whoa -- that's some injury history:
"Tommy John surgery in 2019...
- freshman spring after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.
- transferred to State College of Florida and missed most of his first season there due to a stress fracture in his shoulder.
- blisters last year."

Re: A nice writeup primarily on Clarke
Clarke could be challenging for lefty hitters. Hopefully, righties, too. Hope he stays healthy and gets some work at AA this season.
