And/or confident in their ability to teach and improve curves. Gonna have to dig some more to find out if it was the mediocre heater or the mediocre breaking stuff that resulted in all the hard contact. 9 HRs allowed this year and an ERA of 3.71.
Part of me wonders if this pick was made with the knowledge that the pitch lab could likely add some velo, as it has for so many the past year. I’d like it a lot more if they felt confident there. I wanted to avoid the 2nd tier of college SPs altogether.
That read was worth it, if only for all the injury updates. Only an oblique for Franklin, thankfully. Not as good of updates for others though, even if no surgery at this time.
I don't know if I can trust these Malcolm/Ronnier box scores. That would be the safe way to approach it, for sure. I haven't checked TCR for awhile. I wonder if someone has asked AZ Phil about this.
In the comments after the actual Ethan Wilson pick, they mentioned that James Wood has a huge price tag. Probably takes him off the board for the Cubs, if he was ever on it.
Unless it’s ACL box score shenanigans, Ronnier Quintero is riding the pine yet again. I know they said they were working really hard on the defensive side of the game for him, but you’d think he’d still get at least some of the DH ABs.
Damn. I suspected an injury of some sort, since he still hasn't surfaced on any teams. At least it's not surgery at this point. Hopefully Franklin has a similar non-surgical injury as well.
I don't know wtf they're waiting for. They are severely lacking bats and they don't really have a CF worth a horsefeathers. The Sogard experience has to end sometime, right? Neifi effing Perez all over again.
