southsider2k5 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Hes been much more in control today though despite the velocity. His velocity was much lower during the first few innings. Seemed like he was sitting 94-95 with the heat, and spotting it pretty well. Slider was in the 87-89 range, and he even mixed in the curve a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) We seem to be calling for a Dayan Viciedo call up more all the time and complaining about Juan Pierre. But, I have never seen DV in the OF. How is his throwing arm? How many assists does he have at Charlotte? Of course he also swings a bat, which I agree seems to be a challenge for JP. His arm is a cannon. We saw at least one awesome assist in the spring. I don't know how consistently accurate he is though but he can fire it.

He might be a total hack in the outfield, but there is no way his arm is even comparable to Juan's wet noodle attached to his abdomen. Viciedo is a converted 3B and he's playing RF for Charlotte. After some of the play's Juan hasn't made in the outfield there is virtually no way whoever you throw out there could be worse. It's impossible.

I always compare him to Bobby Bonilla. Somewhat limited mobility, maybe similar speed to Quentin, but he's known to have surprising athleticism. Very solid arm, close to "plus" for a RFer and excellent for LF. Some have compared his to Carlos Lee....which would obviously be a negative, because of the transition from 3B to the OF and their respective sizes. Routes and reads, I'll defer to someone who's watched him closely at Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
