Huge fan of this guy, I’ve been following him since I first read about him in this post here.

We got our guy!
He looks 30
18 year old touching 94, colour me intrigued.
Is this signing using last year’s Myles Straw money?
Atkins this summer: “is he alive?” Agents: “yes???” Atkins:
With a chance to develop his slider, changeup AND splitter thank you very much
It’s going to be really funny when we turn Moon and Alieski into three-pitch FB/Split/Change or slider top 100 prospects
I know these signings are all lottery tickets and most of them never pan out but Atkins and Shapiro keep firing wins over the last year or two.
We went from a middling prospect pool and a team that finished at the bottom of the division to a team an inch away from the World Series and now being media darlings that don’t just feel like we are the bargaining chip for Mets/Yankees/Dodgers.
Another RHP
Can’t wait to see him in game 2 of the world series next year.
Baby
Heyyyyy have we gone back to the fully stitched bird on the jersey?!
Eh, why not. Worth a shot
Another crow for Wilner to eat
