Notes: Thorpe has nasty stuff but he cannot stay healthy. He needs better command of his pitches – and it has finally started to come. Scouts love Thorpe’s stuff but would like to see the right-hander put it together in a little faster manner. Thorpe began the 2005 season with the Dunedin Blue Jays, and started off slow before reaching a stretch in which he became unhittable. Thorpe is a solid athlete, having been recruited for college football. He was the 2002 Man of the Year for his efforts off the field with children. He had labrum surgery in 2002, but rebounded quickly and has been healthy the last two seasons. He touches 98 mph and settled in at 93-97 mph with his fastball. He is still wild, but has improved the command of curve and change. Thorpe has toyed with a splitter. He struggled in the Arizona Fall League after the Jays added him to the 40-man roster for the first time.
