“We decided to give him a few days off as a precaution,” said Stockstill, who will officially take the title of director of player development on April 5.

Lebron caught Trembley’s eye with a major league-caliber fastball that tops out in the upper-90s. Trembley often raved about Lebron’s arm, and it’s possible that we see him in Baltimore later this summer if he can consistently command that heater.
