R.J. Anderson helps shed some light on former Rays Jake Odorizzi and Logan Morrison (ep 162) Feb 27, 2018

Show notes

What does Jake Odorizzi do when he's at his best? Is it a concern that he gave up so many home runs last year with the Rays? What do we know about his 'stuff' -- his fastball, splitter and his ability to put hitters away? Logan Morrison hit a lot of home runs and he came at an inexpensive price tag. Should we buy into Morrison as a big-time power hitter? Should Twins fans be excited about the power potential? And will Chris Archer get traded? Analyst R.J. Anderson follows the Rays very closely, and he helps us out by sharing his insight into the former Tampa Bay Rays, Odorizzi and Morrison.
