I do recall he was working on switch-hitting and I'll ask the question.</p> Steve - He’s still listed as right-handed on the Hagerstown roster.

Whiting certainly seems to be pretty good.

Do you happen to know why Brad Meyers was held back in Extended Spring Training? He was recently promoted to Hagerstown, where I thought had a reasonable season.

Do you have a feel for how he will project/his upside?

Nothing official about any sort of injury.</p> <p>As for projections, this is what I said back in February ... The tall righthander has a four pitch repertoire (fastball, curveball, slider and changeup) that he can throw for strikes. He is adept at getting groundballs but has a low strikeout total. Presently, he projects as another back of the rotation starter or long reliever.</p> NW83 - The answer I was given when I asked about Meyers was that he was building up arm strength.
