Very interested in catching Fitz and Duran. I think I get Crawford on Sunday too. And if you take four of his singles away (dropping the BABIP 100 points) he's still hitting .326/.377/.543. So he's probably been lucky, but he's been very good so far too. |

Duran and Fitz have been an amazing 1-2 combo for contact rates.

Dalbec off to a slow start, but I think he'll catch fire soon. His home runs seem to come in bunches. He will always be a hot or cold player

Mata lost the strike zone a bit in the fifth but barely. I can’t get the pictures to upload, but he was right off the edges. Leaves the bases loaded.

28 GB, 11 LD, 4 FB, 3 PU for Mata.
Pretty sure the old sabermetric adage is everyone is going to give up 20% line drives, what's interesting is what happens with the other 80%.

Mata 4 scoreless so far, 0 runs. 3k Three very good starts for him, most importantly with only 4BB in 16 2/3 innings. Should get bumped up to Portland soon (Late May?) if he keeps it up. Could be a fast mover if the command/control improvements hold up. Curious to hear about his stuff after the added velo last year. |

He’s always been a GB machine, but he actually appears to be getting even better at it. Even struggling with command last year he went up from 2:1 to 3:1 GB:FB. And he keeps on suppressing HR, with HR/FB rates under 6% every year (for a guy who surrenders a small number of FB to begin with, that means well under 0.4HR/9 every year). I’ve gotta think that if he keeps pitching well this year, he’ll maybe end up in AAA for a few starts, and almost certainly debut on some top-100s. |

Jordan Weems is an interesting player as a C-P conversion. His command/control obviously need work but he’s got good stuff, including very good velo, and he obviously misses some bats. It might take a year or two, but I think he’s gonna make MLB as a bullpen arm and he might even have a few solid-to-good years. He had a nice game today, going 3.1 and whiffing 7.
