In his interview during last night’s game Detwiler said he didn’t have a timeline for his player development and hadn’t gotten any kind of a goals schedule from the organization.
I’m sure they have one, and it’s very smart not to put all that pressure on a young guy. Sounds like solid player development policy, it also makes me wonder if them having Detwiler, Zimm, Carr and Zinicola all in Potomac is more to give St. Clair easy access to them that a reflection of the organization’s opinion of their status and capability.
If the bring Colton Willems up from Hagerstown that would fit too.
