Brice Turang (5) - This is my kind of pick in a draft and hold. Potential for high upside with little cost. I felt going in that Turang had a role and that he could deliver a 270/70/10/50/40 season.

This was my first live look at Snelling and he showed us a bit of everything. It looked like Snelling mostly worked 3 pitches, a FB that sat 93 and touched 94, an 85 mph CH, and a 79 mph slider. Snelling threw 80 pitches over 5 2/3 innings, 52 of which were strikes.
This and That

Shota Imanaga - incredibly fun to watch and the results have been dominant. 6 games, 5 wins, 34.2 IP, 4 QS, and an ERA under 1 at .78. At 4 years and $53m the Cubs may have the best signing of the off-season. Early leader for ROY and a fantasy difference maker whether redraft or dynasty.

Reid VanScoter started for the Travs and went 6 innings, giving up just 7 baserunners and 1 run while striking out 4. This lowered VanScoter’s ERA to 2.77 on the year. A really nice start to his second pro season and coming off 143.1 IP of 3.27 ERA at high A last year.

Brenton Doyle - excellent base runner with 98th percentile speed. Doyle is very athletic and reportedly has made some swing / approach adjustments. His defense is elite and will keep him in the lineup so if he can get his OBP even up to .320 there could be 30 steals here ROS.
