This is cool but I don't know what this proves.  Blindfolded catching, what is this, some Mr. Miyagi baseball camp?

He didn't even catch blindfolded. The ball was already in his glove.

Honestly it won't most people here are thoughtful and rational in their understanding of  SSS and knocking rust off a month long layoff. Just like when MLB players go the the GCL for rehab and do not hit four home runs a day. A few folks either have agendas or get frightened easily. 

Geez. You guys are really screwing up comedic timing this morning. I used a head exploding and a smiley face emoji! What more does a man have to do!?

Agreed, but if he can switch-hit like Jesus, we might have ourselves something we have never had.

I don't think he's going to play in the GCL. He's just going to the complex to onboard. 

Adley is atm hanging out in the bullpen at Ed Smith, so this is a real possibility.

Weds game, still no Adley. Usher said it’s TBD if he’s going to play in any games here.

[Moose Milligan]

I'm sure he'll play eventually.

If Watson is already at Aberdeen, it makes no sense to me to start Rutchsman at a lower level. I don't see how he couldn't be ready to play at Delmarva, at least, and get to work with Rodriguez, Rom, Fenter and company for a few weeks.

No issues here. Let Rutchsman rest up a little after the long season. Plus he isn't gonna be behind the plate much this season, so it's not like he will be catching Rodriguez, Rom, Fenter and company more than once or twice if he was in Delmarva.

That would be a great way to start - one month at Delmarva and maybe one at Frederick if he isn't challenged.

Officially added to GCL roster. Rained out today.
