Herzs shine is very much a dull matte now as he got tagged for 9ER in under 3 innings. Went from having a 1 ERA to now up towards 5.

Bah, growing pains.

 

Speaking of, I missed that Marquez hasn't started his season yet..wtf is up with that?

[rok]

Didn't he have Covid? Last I heard he was building up arm strength and expected to report to AA Tennessee a few weeks ago, so it's odd that he's still MIA.

Yeah I think you're right.  It's just odd that we've heard nothing about whats going on with him.

Have any of the prospects from the Darvish trade assigned yet?



Thought I had read that one had and then returned to AZ fairly quickly.

Didnt Marquez also have Visa issues as well?

[rok]

Not sure, but that sounds about right. Just looked at the Tennessee roster, and Marquez is listed on it but on the "Development List" whatever that means. Also, we have to have the OLDEST AA roster in MiLB. So many dudes in their mid-to-late 20s it's kinda ridiculous.

I believe all three are in AZ.

He is the guy the Cubs picked up after seeing him on Pitching Ninja throwing 103mph fastballs.
