On Monday, the South Atlantic League announced that Low-A Lake County left-handed starting pitcher Nick Hagadone was named South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week for the week of August 17th through August 23rd. For the week the 23-year old right hander out of Boney Lake, WA was 0-0 with an ERA of 0.00 in two starts. In those two starts he threw a total of six scoreless innings and allowed just one hit, walked one while striking out ten batters.
Hagadone was acquired by the Indians on July 31st for catcher Victor Martinez. Since joining the Indians organization he is 0-0 with a 2.31 ERA in four starts having allowed five hits, three walks, and piling up 18 strikeouts in 11.2 innings. He is on a three inning or 50 pitch count every outing, whichever comes first, and this restriction will carry through until the end of the season.

i'm sure it's been talked about, but what kind of time table is hagadone on? starting next year in kinston? akron?
i know he (and/or knapp) is supposed to be the best prospect we got in the trades, just wondering when we can expect to start reaping the benefits, especially since he's already 23.
what are the ceilings and floor in your mind, tony, for hagadone? if i said 2nd starter and 8th inning reliever would i be in the ballpark?
My feeling on this is with Hagadone back pitching so late in the season and the Indians remaining steadfast on the notion that they will follow the "plan" with Hags rehab.....they just want him to spend the rest of this season pitching out the string in LC with the focus to get innings and acclimated to the org and back to pitching. I'd expect next year when he is healthy you will see some rapid movement with him.
