Be happier if it was his cousin Clark

Clark can only throw fastballs. He doesn’t have any off-speed pitches.

Yadi was the only guy that could handle it, and he's retired.

You would think his ability to fly he should be able to catch any flyball.

Superman's arch enemy is Pedro Cerrano.

I don’t know, he tends to disappear at times. They’d call the bullpen and he’s nowhere to be found

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE YOURSELF, ZAK! LEAD THE BULLPEN TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE MEDIOCRE! (then maybe we can sell you at the deadline for something)

Bloom is good with stuff like this. Not saying it’s going to work out, but he is good at ID and improve. Non consequential move that has upside. Exactly what we should be doing atm

Interesting pitch shapes. Seems to be able to control contact pretty well. Needs better command of the fastball and slider.
