The same scout said PJ Poulin is throwing very well, but "he's not a cable anymore. Now he's throwing 78 and relying on his two-seamer. Obviously, he's copying Griff McGarry, which is a good idea if he doesn't want to be out of baseball, living out of ballparks and trying to find work as an exemplar of IT next year."

lonesome

the Marlins can be a much more
lonesome team

if the experience matures them

becomes productive

Victor Mesa Jr.

gets a bigger pocket

and several other players return to their old levels

Kyle Stowers

had a case of stoppage in the muscle all season

but kept his mouth shut
