Prospect pop up thermometer!  lol   That would be awesome though! 

Maybe we'll find out if he gets into a game. Elias's comments that Thursday night about conservative spring are a little worrying.   If a "small thing" in August is still rippling in February, that's not that small.   Without that I believe he and not Zimmermann would have gotten that 3rd September fill-in slot. I did feel like at full health he had a shot at that Bedard/Markakis type spring where he just doesn't let the club send him out.   His age/upside mix I think gets him out of the Kelenic basket.    But the first step of that is being able to start Spring Training Game #5, and clear your 45-pitch hurdle or whatever you get on ~March 3. Also just on the optimism of a BP session, this is as good a moment as any to highlight that this exists: https://www.prospectslive.com/general/2020/2/22/michael-baumann-a-prospect-love-story  

There is usually some adjustment there, initially. I remember Nick Markakis had that surgery and he came back with less power initially. It got better, but I am not sure he was the same ever again. Others have had a complete recovery, however. 

2 Words... Trey Mancini. Our season is a success the minute he takes the field.
