Excited to see Nunez in the rotation, hopefully he'll stay there even with the influx of 19 draftees (even if they only get 30Ip)

May I ask why? Legit question, no snark intended.

Projection, they seem to be doing better with LA pitchers with Nunez, he's still adding strength with a FB that sits low to mid 90s, ability to flash spin, but struggles with control/command. Seeing him not in Mesa is encouraging.

Ah, gotcha. I thought he had some plus pitch that I hadn't heard about yet or something.

 

Forgot to mention that Abraham Rodriguez is back playing baseball again. He is a bit of a forgotten man, since he missed all of 2017 and 2018 while recovering from a shoulder injury of some kind. But both AZPhil and John Arguello (RIP) really liked the way this guy swung the bat. I remember AZPhil saying he liked him a good bit better than Jonathan Sierra when they both came to Fall Instructs. He had a great stateside debut the other day going 2 for 3 with a 3B and a BB.

Brendon Little getting the rehab start down in the AZL. Arizona Phil’s writeups on his recent rehab starts in Extended Spring Training sounded good.
