I am thinking that the 2 innings that Otto was allowed to pitch showed that the Rangers will keep him as a starting pitcher this year. I know Evan Grant sees that differently, but I think they want the depth he provides for the rotation.

There are plenty of other bullpen candidates to round out the pen.

Evan's latest guess at the 26 man roster on Opening Day:

Catchers (2): Jonah Heim, Mitch Garver

Infield (6): Nathaniel Lowe, Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, Josh Jung, Josh Smith, Mark Mathias

Outfield (5): Adolis García, Leody Taveras, Robbie Grossman, Brad Miller, Bubba Thompson

Starting rotation (5): Jacob deGrom, Andrew Heaney, Nathan Eovaldi, Martín Perez, Jon Gray

Bullpen (8): José Leclerc, Brock Burke, Joe Barlow, Jonathan Hernández, Taylor Hearn, Jake Odorizzi, Josh Sborz, Glen Otto.

How much better would this bullpen look if Moore was in there instead of Sborz?

Considerbly better.
