In addition, Oropezsa is 6'2", has started every game, is age-appropriate, has more walks than Ks, and is a RF with no games in LF yet- all encouraging.

I'm curious what they do with Wiggins the rest of the year if he stays healthy. Because they could really use him in the pen like yesterday

They really miss 2025 Brad Keller. They struck lightening in a bottle last year with their high leverage bullpen arms and win last nights game 3-1 with their 2025 high leverage magic.

Great to see Jaxon back.  I wonder how slow they work him up.  Sanders got 1 start in the ACL and 2 at SB after missing a month.  I wonder if they have Wiggins do the full minor league tour to get back to Iowa.

Velocity was closer to last year than April as well, good sign.

Oropeza was a $55K signing.  Not a big ticket, but not a $10K guy either.  Would be fun to click on one of these guys, in addition to the more notable $$ guys.
