Control key for Caminero
(2/19/2013) Marlins prospect Arquimedes Caminero has had his fastball clocked as high as 101 mph and posted a 1.64 ERA over 31 appearances between two stops in the minors last season. MLB.com reports the club is waiting to see this spring if the 25-year-old can show more control. "That's good stuff," manager Mike Redmond said. "So now, it's really a matter of fine-tuning. He can be one of those guys who comes out and really surprises you. He could find something that clicks and goes out there and dominates hitters. He's got the stuff to dominate hitters."
