-- caveat -- Facing mainly scrubs from the As and Pods -- caveat, got it --
Noesi: see above. Decent command of mid-90s heat plus a solid offspeed game. Hard to see how he wouldn't be at least pretty decent.
Vargas: 4.0 IP perfect. Threw the fastball 90-91 like a machine, 29 times for 23 strikes (per brooksbaseball.net).
Furbush: forgotten man was flinging it 92-94 from the left side and throwing strikes. Seems like a tick or two faster than last year, but he was mostly a starter (and could just be the gun). Kuo, on the other hand, was 92-93, but he was not throwing strikes (Sat.).
Snow: Came in at 95-96, just a tick below what League was throwing.
At least some resaons for some guarded optimism.
