It's not that hard to remember. I just think OMG Grosso. But it's Omogrosso.

Stupid Cubs fans. :troll:

I think it sucks that the White Sox got screwed by Barney getting injured after doing basically nothing. Their bullpen is REAAALLLYY young now. Not liking it because the chance that they make mistakes goes up the younger they are.

Scouting Report:
Omogrosso is a big righty who can dial it up with his fastball, but injuries have plagued his career. He had Tommy John Surgery in 2005, costing him a season in college, but still projected to be a decent reliever. More recently, Omogrosso tore his labrum mid-2009. It's a tough injury to bounce back from, but he returned to pitching quickly. He throws from a 3/4 arm angle after shifting between that and sidearm. When he is healthy, Omogrosso has spent time as a starter in the minors to give him extra work, but that was never seen as his long-term destination. He throws a good 4-seam fastball that sits in the 92-95 range, a 2-seamer and an above average slider. His slider hasn't quite come back to the plus pitch it was regarded as before the TJS, but it is still a good pitch. When he throws strikes, he is very effective, but his control escapes him too often. With that said, his stuff may not come back to what it was before this latest injury.
