Good news is this spring has hopefully shown Montas he can't just throw 100 mph at this level without good command and be successful.

 

Yea no doubt. Seems unless he has a major breakthrough he's ticketed for a career in the pen, possibly as an elite closer, but still -- in the pen.

 

Secondary pitchers are as rough as advertised. They aren't even that bad stuff wise he just can't command them at all it seems.

Hey look, Webb walked somebody. Now we need a WP.

 

And there it is.

 

He's been a massive disappointment based off of his 2013 numbers. Hopefully Albers can be a solid contributor, as this bullpen looks to be pretty thin.

His speed should be fine at least. He looks much faster from losing the weight. The real question will be how hesitant he is with balls close to fence or within diving range cause of his shoulder.

 

The real issue is terrible jumps and routes, IMO.

Huh, few times I've seen him he's done jack. Guess he only performs when the pressure is off with no TV.

 

Trolling or stupid?

Yep, his jumps are poor, which combined with his slow acceleration out of the gate results in significantly less range than you'd expect.
