Two Spring Training Successes ... Collins and Carlson

[mort]

Both took about a week and signed 2 of 2.

Tim Collins - c/o KC Royals ST

Jesse Carlson - c/o Toronto Blue Jays ST



Collins is a Linecum-type freak-of-nature. He's 5'7" with his shoes on and he can bring upper 90s heat. Could be the next Royals closer once Soria gets too pricey.

Very nice!

I've heard that is 5'7" if you're being generous with the measurement, but yes, I've heard he has killer heat. Awesome pick ups! Congrats!

He's a really nice guy, too. Got to meet him when he was with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. His best buddy on the team was another bullpen pitcher, Trystan Magnuson, (who has since been traded to Oakland) who is 6'7"! Trystan is another really, really nice person.
