Left-hander, acquired in trade for Eric Hosmer and a lot of money, continues strong spring with four shutout innings
“It’s amazing to see,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said of Musgrove’s progress since fracturing his left big toe on Feb. 27. “Still probably a big longshot. There’s a lot of time left to figure out what we’re going to do.”The big left-hander on Friday overcame some occasional command issues and the home plate umpire’s inconsistent interpretation of the strike zone to throw four more scoreless innings in a 1-0 Cactus League loss to the Royals.
The 24-year-old Groome was among a group of a half-dozen pitchers the Padres were eyeing with a special interest entering spring training. The group of contenders to be on the roster if Pomeranz and/or Musgrove is not ready is likely down to Groome, Morejón and Teheran. Groome has an improved change-up that he weaponizes against left-handed batters and a cutter that breaks effectively in on right-handed batters plus three other pitches he moved around the zone on Friday.
