It's been a week now since Zagunis was pulled following a HBP and he hasn't played since. Not on the DL though.

yeah all of a sudden almora's numbers look solid for a 21 year old at AA.

Pretty unbelievable he's up to .270

Question for guys who know, so we paid this kid what a million signing bonus? Was he throwing harder in High School? 89-91 seems kinda slow for such a high pick.

Thats what he threw in hs last year. 17 yr old kid so he should get alot stronger. 6'8" 220 means he has room to grow. Plus his cb is supposed to be his best pitch

He lucked out on handedness THO. Infinity opportunities for healthy lefties.

Didn't know he was a lefty, that velo is certainly fine then
