I'm impressed with Flexen..... good body, fastball and 12 six curve come from same motion, dude has lots of spin on everything...
I'm impressed with Graveman..... he is jacked up to win... has all his pitches and that 1 or 2 inning fastball is a 98 mph bullet...
I'm impressed with Montero..... such a nice easy motion, the ball explodes out of that delivery...he could be very good, looks very relaxed...
I'm impressed with the patience of Fraley.... letting the game come to him at the plate... He misjudged a tough catch in the field today...
I'm impressed with the attitude of Trammel, just like him...
Haniger looks like he only had a few weeks off rather than two seasons...
White is showing signs of life....l, France is a gem....
This team could become one of my favorites... they play for each other.... I don't see any assholes in the group...Congratulations Juliooo... on a fine win... the road gets tougher on Monday;
Great take Terry!

Not many have had the perfect outcomes so far, but compared to previous seasons, the young talent is easy to see this year.

Even the guys who may not be our top options are performing. Like Fraley, even though he's about 6th on the OF depth chart going forward, finding ways to get the job done.

Flexen I characterized as an 88mph clone of everybody else, but if he's throwing 96 like Dunn, they have a chance at least.

The other thing we've seen with these guys that throw 96, is if they need a move to the bullpen, it may end up being 98.

Love this team.
I think Dunn winds up in the bullpen long term. I can see the M's flipping him for Margevicius at some point in the season if Justin doesn't get a hold of his command. Or Gilbert could even be an option to replace Dunn if Seattle wants to keep Nick in the bullpen to have two lefties down there.

I see Rosario. Eddie and Fraley are both off to good starts. Maybe Jake can start adding in a few hits starting on Monday. I agree, he will make a fine 4th OF.

Great win boys! 👍

I've been one of Dunns biggest supporters in this board, and I've said the same thing for a while. He could be a dynamite setup guy with his fastball sitting at 98 and his slider. Give him 6-8 stats this year to figure out out though, then bring up Gilbert and replace him if needed. Give him 2-3 weeks in Arkansas to transition to the pen.

Yes, absolutely! He needs time to develop. Thats mostly what this year is about. To find out what we have in order to form our core. I hope he's able to turn a corner such as Yusei is beginning to. What an awesome problem that would be!

I am glad I didn't switch teams when I moved here. The Red Sox just finished getting humiliated by the Os in Fenway. Lost 11-3 today and score 5 runs in there games.
