Player comments from TigsTowns' Mark Anderson;
Castellanos -- Needs all the OF work he can get, could put up monster offensive numbers in that environment, good experience.
Westlake -- Get the decision but not all that interested, power numbers could be huge, still a long way from being a real prospect.
McCann -- Could be spring board to 2013 debut as a backup catcher, defense is fine, offensive approach/swing needs a lot of work.
Hoffman -- Low-slot reliever with solid-average velo, needs to gain consistency, needs situational experience.
Clark -- Rewarding a fine season, C&C guy w/ fringy relief stuff, good test in difficult environment, don't read too much into his numbers.
Morrison -- Has FB to pitch in MLB, needs work on secondary pitches and against advanced competition, good trial for him.
Putkonen -- Excellent velo, needs consistency, needs to trust stuff and let it fly, needs the work in AFL, still has MLB potential.
