In addition to this it’s also becoming less and less likely that Chazz Martinez (12th round) signs either.
obviously we wanted both or wouldn't have offered them, but what is the potential upside for the frogs from these guys?
I have no response to this other than some really inappropriate jokes that too many would be offended by. So moving on.
what do you see his role next year for the team moose?
Boy, that’s a good question. I’d like the think he turned a corner in the last half of the season but who knows. Marcelo is a high FB spin rate guy with good vertical movement and a flat vertical approach angle…. which means he’s a guy that should have success elevating his FB. Problem was he didn’t have a ton of deception in his delivery and made too many mistakes trying to elevate his FB (didn’t elevate enough) so he gave up a ton of hard contact. Around the midpoint of the spring he added a hip turn for some deception and started using a 2 seam fastball down in the zone instead of trying to elevate a 4 seamer. It definitely made a difference. If he can build off that I could see him filling the role that Chuck King was in maybe. I’m not really sure he’s cut out to start TBH.

So Garrett Wright to close and Perez in a spot starter/long relief role?? Long relief meaning 2+ important innings in close games...
Will Chazz get a look maybe at 1st base as well as pitching?? Looks like a fairly solid hitter with some power...
FIFYWright has to throw at least 3 strikes to the same batter.
Is it just me, or has he improved his bat speed?
