Memphis game last night.....
So I went to the Memphis game in OKC last night.
Some thoughts:
- I hope I just caught them having a bad game, as nobody played particularly well.
- Rasmus. First time I had seen him in person. He was "thinner" than I had imagined. Didn't look real sharp at the plate. Showed a good arm from the outfield, but did air mail one into the 3rd base dugout, when a two hopper probably would have nailed the guy. He also got picked off by the catcher at 1B. Just a bad game, I hope, but based on what I saw, he could use a few months in AAA.
- Mather/Phelps. Both of them looked thin as well. Team has some good height though. Mather has a nice swing, hopefully he'll be able to contribute as a backup in STL at some point.
- Hawksworth. Good stuff. Nice fastball, nice looking curve, and has some offspeed stuff. Control. Control. Control. Kid was all over the strike zone. If he can figure out how to throw strikes, could be a 4/5 SP in the bigs.
- Castellanos didn't impress me a ton either. Nice minor league guy, but I really don't see him having prolonged success at the ML level.
- Freese. Didn't get to see him. Was a little disappointed in that. Same with Motte and Perez.
