Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2476043, member: 2504"] He might not be a closer this season, but I also figure freshman Joe Simeone is a candidate to get work out of the pen as well, considering the excellent summer he had in the Futures League. And like you said, Colby Dunlop is the other freshman who will get bullpen innings. Randy Polonia is an interesting case. He could be terrific if he is healthy and has some semblance of control of his pitches, something that was rather rare his freshman season. I'm interested to see what Ronnie Rossomando will do this season as well. After a very inconsistent season with UConn last season, he had a horrible summer in the Cape League. He has plenty of talent but very inconsistent with his control of his pitches. The question is, can he finally harness his control, or will his career trajectory continue to spiral down in the same manner that Andrew Zapata's did. If he can throw strikes, he will definitely get pitching time. [/QUOTE]
