DateQuestionAnswer
2012-01-20 14:00:00Do you think Arodys Vizcaino will ever go back to starting? What role do you see for him this season?
(JR from New Hampshire)
I think he's best served in a bullpen role, and could spend much of 2012 in the big leagues doing just that. (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-08-10 13:00:00On a scale from 1 to Bacon, how much better is Arodys Vizcaino than Scott Proctor?
(aCone419 from ATL)
Texas brisket (Jason Parks)
2011-08-11 13:00:00How valuable will Trevor Bauer be in a dynasty keeper league; more or less than Arodys Vizcaino?
(faztradamus from Chicago)
That's a very difficult question. There's a lot to like about Bauer and there's a good ceiling there, but he's very far away so projectability is all he has for the moment. Vizcaino also the potential to be special and is closer to the majors now, so I'd probably take him, all else equal. (Derek Carty)
2011-07-21 16:00:00What about this hypothetical trade...Beltran to Atlanta for Arodys Vizcaino?
(Kyran from Searsburg, ME)
That's more damage to Atlanta than Sherman inflicted in 1864. (Jason Collette)
2011-04-13 13:00:00When a player is coming back from an injury-plagued season (like Arodys Vizcaino), what do you look for to reassure yourself that the player has the same upside he had prior to the injury? What are some red flags?
(Matt A from Raleigh)
In a pitcher, you want to see that the "stuff" is present. Does the FB have zip? Does the breaking ball offer sharp break? Does the arm work the same? COmmand is usually the last thing that comes back with a pitcher, so you would look for glimpses of that as well. red flags for me would stem from the arm and how it was working. Did the mechanics change? Is the action still easy? Lots of things to look for. (Jason Parks)
2010-11-09 14:00:00What is the status of Arodys Vizcaino?
(laynef from Austin)
He's healthy, and the Braves expect big things in '11. (Kevin Goldstein)
2010-08-20 15:30:00Anything on Arodys Vizcaino? Are they just going to keep him shut down or test it out to see how his arm responds to pitching?
(BigSteve from Saint Louis)
He's been rehabbing in Florida and it's been going very well actually. According to sources, he just might make another start or two before the season ends. (Kevin Goldstein)
