caulfield12 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Wilson Betemit. Ryan Sweeney. SSS. We had months of hand-wringing over Madrigal. Give the guys some time...Rodon can throw 94-98 when he chooses too, it’s always location and counts with him. And with how bad EE was looking in spring, will take this game and put it in the books.

flavum Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Kudos to Garfien for the Josh Hamilton comp for Collins. Been said before obviously, but much better than Thome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Good experience for Vaughn, but it truly sucks he wasn’t able to play 130 games at Birmingham this year. What’s the word on the AFL this year? They give up on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - Rodon is probably the rustiest of the entire bunch, so you have to figure he'll be behind everyone else. The fact that he's out there getting work in - that is most important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can’t get over how different he looked in that dominating outing vs Braves when on the Nats. DIdn't he have a pretty good spring?

Haha - I thought that exact same thing when I read that quote the other day. It is like taking throwing lessons from Chuck Knoblach or Rick Ankiel.

I was surprised to see him already back and throwing. I don't know why, but I thought he went down late last year. I think he'll be a great option down the road in the bullpen. Possibly a swing guy, or multi-inning arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh hamilton comp? In what way? I'm a bit sceptical about him. He has the best eye in the organization and has some pop but the swings on misses on fastballs that are fat over the plate are worrying. It is ok to occasionally miss a slider or a chest high FB but collins is missing fastballs that are essentially down the pipe and that is a bad sign. If he can catch I'm fine with .220 with 100 walks and 25 Homers (about a 220/350/420 line) but at DH or 1b that is not that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
