I saw this and no Ragans. That may need updating

Does not sound like starter material but of course most say not MLB material

Lol. It is brand new. Just came out today.

Ragans is no longer eligible. He used up his rookie status last year.

 

[saddles]

No Blaine Crim in the top 30 according to MLB Pipeline. If you don't pitch or play up the middle it is really hard to impress those guys. There are a few corner guys, but not many.

 

[saddles]

In limited playing time this spring, Sam Huff has done well. His OPS sat at 1.143 coming into today's game. In what will most likely be his only plate appearance today, he walked.

 

[saddles]

Ian Kennedy had a solid inning and now Kyle Cody comes in.

I wonder if Kennedy has the inside track for that last bullpen spot because of his experience?

This is why I'm glad we have Bochy and Maddux here. Their experience will be a factor as well.

EDIT: Cody giving up 4 didn't help

 

[saddles]

A bad outing for Cody. He almost got out of the inning unscathed as Carter had the final out in his glove on a diving attempt, but the ball popped out. The next guy hit a 3 run HR.

How many starts I wonder. I thought there was some leeway ala Jung

Jung still has rookie status. They did that on purpose so they would have a chance at the bonus draft pick if he wins rookie of the year this year.

It is all about how long they have been on a big league roster.
