This bullpen is a big ? after Iglesias and Mayers.   Buttrey and Claudio haven’t shown a lot recently.

 

This is spring and they are working on various things. I wouldn’t put too much stock in their ST stats

I hope they start working on getting fucking outs.

That will be a concern come opening day.

Jordan Adams comfortably robbing a homerun.

Raise Angel Stadium’s CF wall to 10 feet, and he would still be able to rob HRs.   Dude has mad leaping ability.

It seems like he's making a late push, but either Ward or Fowler is gonna need to be able to play CF in order for Ward to make it over Lagares. Neither has made an appearance in CF this ST, if I recall correctly.

I really like Ward but he will start in AAA, and he should be catching every other day. They need to see if he’s a viable option as a twice a week catcher. His value then skyrockets.

Not sure how feasible it might be but if he could just show decent, if not necessarily great, catching skills, it would change his whole profile.

Let's start him in RF because he is best option.

I think it's unrealistic to have him be that, but a guy who can catch passably, play OF, and sub at 1st and 3rd is incredibly valuable.
