Andres Munoz
#31 · September 5, 2019, 12:15 am
It seems to me that he has slowed his fastball down just 1 mph or 2, just enough to control it. He needs to prove he can maintain that control before he can be trusted as a closer. He also needs to improve his slider. The break is often not very sharp. We have Yates, he is awesome. Give him a year to prove himself as a setup reliever. We need one.

Does anyone know if those PRP injections really work? I have heard that both yes they do and no they don't. All I know for sure is that Munoz had a UCL strain(partial tear) but sure doesn't pitch like it! Did the PRP work or is Munoz pitching on borrowed time?

Almost every pitcher is on borrowed time, just when does the bill come due?

Philip (San Diego):
- That seems like a very aggressive ranking of Andres Munoz as a reliever only with a rough delivery. Are you confident in him staying healthy? Also was any of Reggie Lawson/Joey Cantillo/Hudson Head considered?
Kyle Glaser: It's a reflection of just how dominant Munoz can be. He was 20 years old in the majors and struck out nearly a third of the batters he faced. A dominant end of game reliever is incredibly valuable, let's not kid ourselves. Lawson has consistency and health red flags and Head is incredibly young with promising tools but a lot of refining to do. Cantillo was the one considered for the Top 10, but it was as a potential swap with Weathers at 10. When we look back 10 years from now, Munoz likely will not only have had a better career than the players below him on this list, but very possibly many of the guys above him, too.

RHP Andres Munoz threw his first simulated game of the spring. The 21-year-old reliever is expected to throw another bullpen session Tuesday and could get into his first Cactus League game as soon as Thursday.

Well, we all knew it was coming didn't we? Good thing to just get it over with while there is no baseball going on I guess.

Frustrating but "relatively" good timing I guess for he & Reggie Lawson. Sounds like Munoz was trying to avoid it but Lawson just didn't feel right & probably took advantage of the timing.
