Dyer has served in a variety of roles in his three years at UCLA, serving as a midweek starter and weekend reliever as a freshman, then as a setup guy as a sophomore. He moved into the weekend rotation as a junior, though it seems like his future might be coming out of a bullpen. As a starter, Dyer's stuff has been somewhat generic compared to when he's thrown in shorter stints, both at UCLA and during a successful turn in the Cape Cod League last summer. He still commands his fastball well, but it's largely sat at around 90-mph in the rotation, as opposed to up to 94 mph in the pen. His breaking ball had more power and tighter spin when he was setting up, though he still uses it effectively. He's generally around the strike zone with all of his offerings. Whoever drafts Dyer could send him out as a starter and see if they can help him find more sharpness in his stuff in that role. Knowing that the stuff will play up, and he could move faster, as a reliever, will be nice to have in their back pocket.

Last night during the MLB Network's broadcast, someone (Reynolds?) asked Dan O'Dowd how much he paid attention to scouting reports by BA, BP, ESPN, etc. O'Dowd quickly responded that the answer was none. The Network immediately cut to a commercial. These scouting sites have no inside information unless an organization is being flat out stupid and feeds it to them. They've paid a lot of money to get their own scouting reports.

So he basically gives every fanbase a case of Stockholm. He just likes to poke us more it seems like.

I thought that was a completely arrogant response. O'Dowd was an awful GM (he gave the Denny Neagle and Mike Hampton contracts). I've heard teams in all sports say they use the scouting sites rankings for a litmus test of their own. Their not building the board from Baseball America but it's helpful for them to look at.
