I think Nootbar has played is way into the outfield mix, and not just as a fourth outfielder. Bader, O’Neill, Carlson, and Nootbar all need a place to play.
BTW, Junior Fernandez threw two or three 99 MPH fastballs last night with 9 to 3 movement. I don’t remember ever seeing a 99 MPH fastball move left to right horizontally like that. It seems like the organization has been pushing him along in spite of his control issues. I guess that’s why.
