I believe it was Cassel that I saw during a spring training game. IIRC, he was pounding the zone and pitching inside, and didn't look too bad.

CJ Retherford heating up for W-S.

 

Third consecutive multiple hit game tonight... third consecutive game with a homerun.

 

Average on the season up to .310

 

Starting to look like he did at Great Falls last year.

 

Very nice.

Pitching duel going on in the Kanny game. 0-0 at the end of 5. Carter has given up only two hits. Struck out 4 and walked none so far. The game is currently being delayed by rain.

 

Retherford has done nothing but hit since we signed him as a UDFA less than a year ago. I understand he may not have great potential, but you can't argue with his production so far.

I saw him play last year when he was with Great Falls. I like him. He hits.

BTW, Eggy to start tomorrow.

I think Retherford's ceiling is being like Robbie Hammock. Hammock is a decent bench guy who can play C, 1B, 3B, and LF, while being able to hit a little. If Retherford can be like that, that is a valuable addition to the bench.
