Question on Anthony Bass - Mia projected closer. I watched 2 of his outings this spring and in neither one did he have any command of his breaking ball. Has he had a good breaking ball in the past (I am an NL only guy so never checked in on him before...). His fastball is not overpowering (95 without a lot of movement) and if he has no breaking ball I don't see how he survives in the NL East.

That said, Mattingly has tended to give his chosen closer a decent leash in the past, so the Curtiss late-round deep buys are generally for much later in the year, but he looks like a solid ratios guy anyway.

Curtiss pitched 7 outings so far this spring. 5 against Washington and 2 against the Mets.... Sort of crazy he hasn't pitched against anyone else.
The one televised game early in Spring he was having alot of trouble controlling his breaking ball. Hopefully he finds his groove with that pitch.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostIs Bass the projected guy to start the season based on Mattingly's quotes? That was my take, and I was really surprised - Bass' contract has some pretty serious bonuses for saves, and I figured Miami would try and avoid those.
Those bonuses for Bass arent all that serious (see below). If they have to shell out 750K for 50 saves, you bet your ass they will be happy about it.
$125,000 each for 30, 35, 40, 45 games finished
$250,000 for 50 games finished
