No, and it's a little concerning. 

[Bman]

Zimmerman and Lopez are in. Deal is done. Seal the deal. They have been the two best pitchers in camp so far. Elias still looking fir trade chips so a bunch of others. The young studs cavalry cones up in July and august.

Updated with Hernandez injury and Franco signing. 
So who has been the surprise of the camp so far?

For me, it’s the success of Mullins once he stopped trying to switch hit. I shouldn’t be as shocked, but he seems really dialed in.

Zimmerman I guess.

Hardly anyone is hitting.

A healthy Harvey throwing 95, with rediscovered spin, and a new 2S FB might be special

Greene and Wells. Did you have either of them making the team? Followed by Zimmerman, who has been BLAZING

I have read you touting TWells for weeks now. Tony-OH has been coming around more recently. I think they are going to keep TWells and return Sceroler.

Wells of course was an unknown for me before the Rule 5 selection and I didn't know about Greene's arm until seeing him pitch this spring. After watching both, Green for me has the most upside of the two, but I do like Wells enough to keep him around and see how he does this year.

Maybe HOW dominate Zimmermann has been, but i was really impressed with him last spring before the shutdown and though the fastball and slider really took steps forward last spring, so it's not a shock to me to see him do it again.

If he can find that changeup and get a little less velocity on it, he could be another John Means.

Well I didn’t really jump on board the Wells train until after I read Tony’s initial assessment of him..

I did compare the stats of the two rule five guys, and Wells seemed to be more accomplished. I still don’t understand why Wells was not the earlier choice, but he certainly done well so far.

Connor Greene really came out of nowhere for me. Didn't know much about him and certainly didn't think a guy with high 90s stuff would be a minor league free agent signing. I'd like to know about what he did between 2019 and now because his stats make him out to be a pretty wild pitcher, but we haven't really seen that so far. He hasn't walked a batter in five innings and this is a guy who walked 16 in 15.1 relief innings in AAA back in 2019. 

Either way, I the outing I watched him on TV, I really liked his stuff and not just velocity wise. If his his new found control is for real, he could be a real find.
