Whatever happened to that Hynick guy?

Dont you think its funny Contreras is the Phillies closer..

When he couldn’t even crack our bullpen? This team feels strong right now. I haven’t felt like we were the underdogs in any of the games so far.

I find it more funny that he refused to re-sign with us because he wanted to start

So he went to Philly, where he was supposed to start but is now closing.

Rogers domination matched the start he had in his last start of ..ST

Granted it was ST, but it was late in spring against the defending AL champs. He dominated everyone in the order not named Josh Hamilton who he seemed to be intimidated by. The reason I’m impressed by Rogers is because he has quality stuff. Once he learns to trust his stuff he could be a top of the rotation candidate.
