Timmy U Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
