JT Schwartz has a remarkable swing. It is worth coming to the ball park just to see him swing a bat. Smooth, effortless, square to the ball over and over. This guy is going to hit.
ReplyDeleteNunez had such good outings, he has already been promoted to AAA as of yesterday.
Nice 3 hit 3 RBI game for Jose Peroza, Paul. He is my dark horse.
ReplyDeleteWill Schwartz generate enough pop? Time will tell.
Dedniel is post-Tommy John, and maybe he gets to Queens in the not too distant future.
