He is maybe an alternative to Wandy Peralta. I don't think he's a LOOGY and I hope Price doesn't have one.Nicolino has 33 MLB starts and 17 relief appearances
He's been better as a reliever by about a run and a half looking at ERA splits.
Watching BH this spring, I think the final tally is in on the ongoing lie about him working on his bunting, as if you can do that in the gym down the street.If Hamilton could just get on base. And stay injury free, Maybe this spring, he did learn how to bunt. And maybe Ervin waiting in the wings will light a fire under him. Not that he doesn't go all out already. So who knows.
Just one more day of this thread. Then we start a new one for the season. It might be more about the weather for the 1st few weeks of the season.
To be sure, if chee-pass Miami couldn't use him, it's likely there's a wrinkle in his spaghetti.The Reds DFA Pin-Nicolino and outrighted him to AAA. Any hopes he would make the club turned out to be a lie. Haven't heard if he's also made of wood.
