Adalberto Mendez









Don't look now, but the Zephyrs appear to be developing a bullpen ace in the mold of LAAAAA's use of Scott Shields for many years. Call it the Fingers role.

Mendez's last three appearances have each been for three innings and he's given up no runs in those nine innings. Hits? Three. In 14 2/3 innings of work, he's given up a total of two runs (in the same game), and has 13Ks against 6BBs. His ERA is a cool 1.23. The sample size is small, yes, but if Mendez keeps this up, he could be bolstering Florida's bullpen before the trade deadline.
