March 18, 20242 yr Choo Choo this is the train to get aboard for Nastrini [x] Tremendous Stubble [x] Does not give up runs [x] Hat fits well [ ] Cy Young Will he get there?
March 18, 20242 yr I am very high on Nastrini. The change can really help him, and his best slider is nasty. Boy, do the Dodgers know how to draft and develop players. Remember, he was expendable to them. When he got to the Sox, he pointed out how much easier it was to advance in systems that are not good at development. Hopefully, they learn the lesson and start developing their own Nastrini.

March 18, 20242 yr If I'm being harsh, he hasn't fully earned the big league call-up by putting together a strong minor league stretch, his ERA at AA last year was in the 4s, he's only had 19.2 innings at Charlotte, but also weren't great. If you're starting him with the big league squad, the only reason you're doing it is the spring training innings. But, at the very least, he has had a season in AA and made a AAA debut, so it's not the same sort of jump you'd make with Thorpe who has barely reached AA. It does look like you'll have to be cautious about his innings as he's topped out around 115 each of the last 2 years.

March 18, 20242 yr Was my favorite acquisition last year. Happy to see he's putting it together thus far.
March 19, 20242 yr Lots of Train song to choose from on YouTube . But I saw this one that was a minor hit for Albert Hammond in 1974 and it's been forever since I heard it.
March 19, 20242 yr I've prepared myself for the inevitable tweet/release that they'll have Touki in the rotation... then after Touki is 0-4, call Nastrini up.

Will add a more well known though not sure how much here Canadian selection.
