So he has issues, and might even need to go down to AAA for a bit, but where did Kuhl's stuff come from? I remember him projecting as someone who threw in the low 90's, am I mis-remembering that?

It's not even surprising anymore.

I must admit Diaz had fallen off of my radar, but it sure looks like he can play baseball.
