I was hoping Periard threw a bit harder, but that's not bad. Keep in mind that he threw about 6-7 MPH slower when they drafted him 3+ years ago. He has a decent frame, hasn't pitched a ton in his life, and could well add another 2-3 MPH later on. And while he still needs work on his offspeed stuff, it isn't a huge worry right now. He's not a front-line prospect, but still has very good stuff and could blossom in the near future. I'm very, very high on Alexandre.
