What do you have on Baldwin? Did not see any other news on this transaction.

Congrats to Scott Carroll. I remember his brother was on here a bit last year.

 

No, he was told yesterday he was being reassigned to AAA.

 

And I still check in from time to time!

That's too bad , but thanks for the info.

 

Sounds like they set the roster yesterday, but unofficially because of the split squad on Wednesday. You never know who might get hurt.

 

Did Brad Penny actually make it?

Did Penny as a veteran need to be released by now or we had to pay him more? I assume he made it then because I don'tsee a great reason to delay the decision one way or the other.

 

I thought I recalled that the $100k is if they send him to AAA.

Ah, dang. Hopefully he can get some more burn on the big league club this year.

opinions...... re Beck.

 

how, in your own opinion, did Beck perform this spring?

The time I saw him on air he looked good. Crisp, hard to hit his fastball. No radar gun was available.

 

From previous impressions though it's going to be "lasting 6+ innings" that could still be the task he needs to overcome - involving both stamina and working in offspeed stuff. Always hard to judge offspeed stuff in AZ since it's dry, desert, and hanging.

i like him, but my concern is for his speed of the fastball. yeah a nother yr of developing may make him a better overall pittcher.

When I saw him in person last year he topped out 94-95. Good speed on his fastball through 5 innings but he tired out in inning 6 and that's when he started getting hit around, you could see his average FB drop below 90 at that time. He has plenty of velocity and he's also supposed to have a good sinker IIRC.

Some of them will get hurt, some will wind up in the bullpen, some will struggle when they get to the big leagues or higher levels some will be traded. The trick is: if Rodon is as good as he is supposed to be, then all we need from those guys is to fill back-of-the-rotation roles, and if they're any better than that then our rotation is loaded.

 

Chris Beck absolutely has the talent to be a mid-rotation pitcher. Will he get there? No idea. But, if we get a #4 starter, a guy who puts up an ERA in the low-mid 4's out of him who is cheap for 5-6 years, that's a huge asset regardless.

ahhh i totally agree, the main wild card will be, if they fully develop as hope.
