Give him or Rojas a shot if Colson is hurt

Sure this will happen a lot, but anything that happens after the 5th inning of any early spring training game can usually be taken with a grain of salt. 

Is Eder's fastball always that bad? I thought he threw hard.

His stuff was WAY down last year

How did we trade for the one guy who just lost all his stuff after surgery.  

His stuff wasn’t this bad when we first got him though right?  92 MPH seems way worse than that and he was already down when we got him.

And velocity isn’t everything, but he has terrible command.  He has all the makings of a bust.

Eder was throwing 94 against the Royals on 2/23. Sitting 93 against the Guardians 2/27.

Definitely looking like a bust right now.  I’ve pretty much lost all optimism unless he gets moved to the pen and the stuff miraculously comes back.  It’s funny that Hahn actually did some of his best work those last few months of selling and KW makes one bad trade that highlights everything wrong with the org during that era.

Dodgers +12 today

Gray just lost SS job with that weak pop up to the opposite field.

Something something about Enzo Hernandez, Tito Fuentes, Bill Almon, Kahlil Greene and Tim Lollar. Oh yeah, Sixto Lezcano and Luis Salazar, too. Alan Wiggins.

You mean EnZo Ferrari?

Good list of ex Padres...or Latin singers.

Dead ex Padres?  Some that played for the White Sox too...

Jacob Gonzalez bust potential quite high now too.

K city for Sox in recent innings.

I remember Fuentes with the Giants.

Eder was at least on prospect lists after the draft.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a college player get drafted and universally have his stock tank like Gonzalez did.

Dodgers -6  (6-6)

White Sox -19  (2-7)

Marlins -17

Twins -15

 

On pace for 6-21...after 9-20 last spring.

Zero tool player.  Average across the board.  Zero carrying tools.

Not even a poor man's Adam Frazier or India.  Not even close.

On Burger: Hated giving up the one fun player to watch hit and a high quality person too.

Not many pitchers from Key West.

Montgomery doesn't force anything up there...nice calm patience.

Terrell Tatum appearance.

strike on video AbS challenge

dodgers' catchers haven't lost a challenge all spring

barely a strike

 

Rushing part of the embarrassment of riches.

Give Maton the job.

Has some actual pop.

Dodgers' team called it third out lol.

Are we seriously debating whether guys are busts based on spring training results? This is insane, guys. 

Elko makes Gallo and Wolkow look small.

Gonzalez has been questioned since draft day.

What is his path to the big leagues exactly?

Injuries and attrition?

 

Eder will continue to get opportunities since he's left handed and throws 93-96.

I feel pretty strongly it should be Baldwin even if Colson was healthy.  There is just no reason to start his clock early during a 110+ loss season.

Bad GMs hired by a terrible owner.

I’m with you, but it’s hard to be optimistic about Eder right now.  And I’m not a guy who typically overreacts to early season velocity or temporary drops, but him throwing 92 MPH is incredibly concerning given his challenges last year.
