Castro doesn't seem like much, although he might develop a little as a reliever. Hopefully he has good stuff.

 

Waddell looks like a LOOGY candidate, although LH have hit him hard in different years.

 

Johnson is an older Koyie Hill. I wonder if that's an indicator Hill will back up Soto, or that Hill won't be back in any capacity?

Meh, Waddell is a soft tosser.

Meh, Waddell is a soft tosser.

 

 

Maybe we'll use him for batting practice, then, so we stop getting beat by soft-tossing no-names. (more of a problem in previous years than this past one).
