Ideally he fits into the Turner role. Back up 1B/3B, DH'able, RHH. We shall see how he looks now that he's prioritizing fitness.Do we see Blaze as the DH of the future? We already have first base locked up.
P.S. simultaneous post.
That inning was better!Fitts relies on command & it's not really there today. The biggest takeaway is he's ticked up his fastball a couple mph, so much more cause for optimism than concern, even if he's pitching poorly today.
Marry the sister of the General Manager of that website and lean into nepotism?How do you become Director of Scouting for a website?
Yup, not surprising.That inning was better!

Thanks. Never heard of him. Makes you appreciate the job Cora et al have to do sorting all these guys out in ST.Yup, not surprising.
JOHANFRAN Garcia
He played mostly in FCL last season before being called up to A-Ball toward the end of the season. Top 15-20ish prospect in the system. 19 y/o catcher.Thanks. Never heard of him. Makes you appreciate the job Cora et al have to do sorting all these guys out in ST.

JOHANFRAN is a personal favorite in the MILB forum. 137 wRC+ in FCL last year, very strong arm.Thanks. Way behind here this spring I am!
Harsh but fairOh gosh. Coming back from commercial break immediately to Tom Caron's voice should be illegal. Give us a warning or something.
If Rafaela is on the big-league team all year, is he still a prospect?He's had 89 MLB plate appearances. He is definitely still a prospect.
Ha. I don't hate the dude, and I love that he genuinely seems to love the game and being around it. His voice is just jarring to me sometimes, especially when I am on headphones so it's, like, RIGHT THERE.Harsh but fair
No.... but he hasn't been yet. I was just answering the question.If Rafaela is on the big-league team all year, is he still a prospect?
Feels like the broadcast quality ought to be higher by the year 2024.Really wish we had the gun reading for Guerrero.
Gun would read wild so far.Really wish we had the gun reading for Guerrero.
He's eclipsed the century mark a couple of times already, according to the insipid Dave O'Brien.Really wish we had the gun reading for Guerrero.
They are playing the bottom of the 7th regardless.Isn’t that the game (7 innings?).
Get in those extra ABs!They are playing the bottom of the 7th regardless.
