ReplyDeleteI got to see most of the GCL game yesterday, but had to leave before the end.
ReplyDeleteGannon's one run scored on a two-out balk, once again he & Carroll at times have great stuff but wait until they are in trouble to focus enough to really use it. Both were dominant at times but struggled with BB, yet neither gave up a run on a hit (BK, WP). Araiza does an exceptional job behind the plate, but even he struggled with keeping these two focused.
Havlicek is fun to watch, he is a Jamie Moyer type who just has batters off balance all the time. He doesn't have much of a fastball, so it should be interesting to see if/how that affects his progress going forward.
