Again, I agree with ya re: the late start. But a guy who was coveted by all of professional baseball less than3 years ago - despite his recent history - shouldn't be mentally discarded.........If I remember correctly he was considered a very coachable young man, knew the game/wanted to learn, and pretty much had it together between his ears. So his downside was a physical problem, which according to our FO was no problem any longer......Seems like a mature young man, is somewhat physically gifted (without his injury) and our brain trust traded up to get him. It just seems like I've gotta believe - maybe that's hope - our FO (insert Chris Young) has a better idea moving forward......Perhaps too much optimism.
I haven't discarded him as a pitcher at all.

You didn't think they would start Leiter in AA this year and he hadn't missed as much time or come through surgery recently. Why would you think Rocker would start at AA instead of Hickory then?

If he performs well in the instructional league I think they'll give him a shot. No guarantee, and him going to hickory wouldn't surprise me one bit. But I'm betting he's not there long.

Im thinking Rocker blows the socks off everyone and absolutely dominates. He will be here quicker than expected imo

A year ago, when did you think Leiter would be here?

I think I was under the impression he would be up around 2024..mid to late 2023 if he was dominating, which he isn’t.. needs to get his control.. under control..

in college Kumar had a better BB/9 and a better K/9.

They are going to need some bullpen help with Santana down. Did Gray already go on IL?

We just have to not expect too much from Ragans. His adrenaline will be going through the roof.
