EDWARDS DOESN'T MIND FAN CRITICISM: Trent Edwards was asked if it bothers him that some fans still question his arm strength. Edwards said he's not sick of hearing it.
"I think that’s part of being a fan and questioning the players on that team," said Edwards. "I’m a big Los Angeles Dodgers fan and I question the right fielder's arm a lot too. That’s part of being a fan so I’m fine with it."
Edwards didn't specify whether he was talking about Andre Ethier or Matt Kemp who both platooned at the position last season for the Dodgers.
I never thought he had a weak arm. I guess fans say that because they are comparing his arm to JP's.
I agree that arm strength is overrated. Throwing catchable balls iswhats more important. Monatna and Brady come to mind.
What I would love to see Trent do is make more throws like he made to Reed in the comeback win. He threw it in between 2 defenders. Those are throws that both Brady and Montana make/made all the time. They float enough to get over the first defender and into their recievers hands but not high enough that they sail into the deeper defender/safety..... in stride.
Both Drew and JP have so much zip that they end up in a straight line from their hands to the target that defenders can get to.
