CDAV: You’re wrong assumption is easily forgiven but that avatar. Sheesh.Correction. Arias was thrown out arguing a call at 1B. Sorry, that's my bad for assuming an injury was the cause. I saw the play, watched him shaking his left hand/wrist and then when I came back he wasn't in the game.

Somebody tell @sportscoach that we don't need to trade for a BP arm this offseason. Vargas and Herrin are money!
Lenny Torres could be considered in the same light as C-Var, Gad-man, & Sand-man... all arms that have a chance to truly bolster the pen led by the top of the Clase....3 FB by Vargas. 100, 99 and 100. Breaking ball is absolutely filthy.

Can he pitch? Or is he still just throwing and learning?
Anthony Gose throws. He might be able to hit 100, but he's trash. Nick Hagadone was another guy who was a thrower that never developed into a pitcher.What is the difference for Vargas? "Pitch" usually refers to able to change pitches, locations and set up hitters for a starter. A thrower is more of a reliever, let his FB go. Need to look at his command .... haven't seen a game but I assume it is okay (K to BB is good) but a few high BB numbers as location is last to come back for TJS guys (work in progress). And, he second pitch a slider, thought Bimbo refer to it as one of the best in system already, if I am not mistaken. He will make a good to great reliever at some point ... argument is when.
You should probably watch him to get a better understanding. Yes he throws gas, but that breaking pitch is f'n nasty and he controls it better than his FB.So, we all know Vargas has a hell of an arm.

I haven't watched him at all--hence the question.You should probably watch him to get a better understanding. Yes he throws gas, but that breaking pitch is f'n nasty and he controls it better than his FB.
He's fun to watch for sure. I especially like that he doesn't appear to be going max effort at all. He's controlled with an easy, fluid motion.I haven't watched him at all--hence the question.
Doesn't Torres have a good change up as well as the FB/slider combo?Lenny Torres could be considered in the same light as C-Var, Gad-man, & Sand-man... all arms that have a chance to truly bolster the pen led by the top of the Clase....
..at least if Lenny gets his health back to where he was when he was drafted.. sort of the best drop and drive prospect in the Indians/Guardians system..
