Time to check in on the spring NRIs and see how they're performing at Charlotte. Looks like KW might have found some keepers after all.
The good news:
Charles Haeger has been on fire, with an 0.64 ERA over 28 innings. Only 16 hits allowed (but also 12 walks and a lot of passed balls). Record is just 1-0.
Javier Lopez has not allowed a run in nine appearances (1-0, 4 saves). He had a great K:BB ratio this spring, and it's continued. He's the first guy they'll call up if they Logan and Thornton don't pan out.
Montero has been terrific (0.59 ERA in 15 1/3 innings; 11 baserunners and 14 strikeouts).
Jeff Farnsworth is 2-0, 1.04 over 8 2/3 innings. 11 Ks.
More good news:
Heath Phillips is 2-1, 2.74 (23 IP). Chad Bentz is 2-1, 2.61 (10 1/3 IP). Stephen Randolph is 2-0, 3.05 (20 2/3 IP) and leads the team in strikeouts with 22. It's too bad these guys didn't pitch better this spring, because they're not going to get many chances with the Broadway/Lumsden/Liotta class breathing down their necks.
And the bad news:
Munoz has only pitched 2/3 of an inning. (No baserunners.) Nomo has pitched just three innings.
Sean Tracey is 1-0, 2.92 but has walked more than one per inning.
Redding and Reynoso have been hit hard.
