I mean, it was 4 earned runs after only 6 outs in the game. There was cause for concern.
And Cora did get Valdez warming up, so maybe he agreed with me.

Whitlock pitched the other day so Cora mentioned Kutter Crawford would be the long man today for Hill
@jcmccaffrey
It's Valdez up in the pen first though
Needs to be 2 outstanding pitches.
Wonder how soon we sill Hill to the pen and Whitlock to the rotation?
Does Whitlock move to the rotation in the TOR series with Houck out?
@PeteAbe
Plawecki will be out 10 days, but it could be less.
If he has two negative PCR tests, no fever and approval from the joint Covid medical committee, it can be sooner.

Good write-up on Freili Encarnacion in this BA piece ($). 17-year-old SS that signed for $1.1M will likely end up at 3B, but is the one to watch in the DSL this summer with a mature hitting approach that already shows his plus raw power in games.
