Through 3 weeks, my impression on the pitching staff. I'll go in the order we saw them this weekend:
Pudvar: Great start. Coming off injury I just hope he isn't over used. We're a long way from June. Want him healthy (Of course - like everyone). Kid battles. Doesn't get flustered. Like what I see.
Suchy: He's going to be good. He's had good flashes. Seems to get settled in after a few batters/inning. Maybe choose different spots for him. But - the experience/exposure WILL pay off. Just not yet.
Shaw III: Been put in a bunch of spots with traffic. Good compsure. Doesn't get flustered. Strike thrower. Has gotten through some, some not. That's baseball. Seems to be a guy they want to bring in more than once on a weekend. Like what I see.
Peters: Haven't seen enough, but like what I see so far. More reps the better, will pay off.
Cooke: Not sure what to say. Firm believer he will right the ship.
Von Emon: Looked better this weekend. If he turns into a pen guy, I still think that makes us strong. The book is certainly not closed. This weekend was a step in the right direction. Going to have ups and downs. Looking forward to the ups.
Abbadessa: See Shaw. I see him being a guy they use more than once on the weekend. 2 good outings this weekend. 8 pitch Saturday helped his availability. Seems comfortable after missing time.
Caruso: First look this weekend. Different delivery. Can see why he may have a day where he doesn't have control. But if he's on, looks challenging to hit.
Ellison: What is there to say after yesterday.
Hutchinson: See Shaw & Abbadessa. He throws strikes he'll be used.
Afthim: See Ellison. Tremendous.
