Any slightly less knee-jerk reactions to the first week of Spring Training?
James: I’m impressed with just how hard Merrill Kelly, Ryne Nelson, and Justin Martinez are throwing already. If they are feeling this amped up and fresh now, things could be very interesting this season - assuming the increased velocities do not come with arm injuries.
Preston: So far, players seem healthy. (With the exception of Jordan Montgomery.) ADC has had his arm heal faster than anticipated. Hard to ask for much more.
Jim: Corbin Barrels. Normally I’d not really pay attention to a player homering three times in the first week, but since Carroll does appear to have made some mechanical changes, I am hoping he has cracked the code.
