“He’s real good about–he always has been, even as a young player, about letting us know when something doesn’t feel quite right,” said Mike Matheny. “I imagine they’ll probably just go slow with him. Realizing this kid’s had a lot of work. So just getting him ready for Day 1.”
Siegrist has made 148 appearances over the last two seasons, throwing a combined total of 136.1 innings.
WACHA IMPRESSES
While Siegrist will wait for his first bullpen, Michael Wacha impressed his manager with his.
“That’s about as good as I’ve seen him in a long time,” assessed Matheny. “Just his base–the fluidity of it. Right now, we don’t look so much at the end result as to how do all the components look. He looked to me, as right as I’ve seen him in a long time.”
