That’s a surprise, if true. Maybe he’s getting the Ashcraft treatment.
Clevinger out? Can’t see them keeping three swingmen.
I like it. I think it makes the team better, and he’ll be limited in innings like so many others. No reason to burn innings in Indy if he’s ready to contribute today.
Control is the big x-factor between him being just ok and rather nasty.

Huh… 3 lefties in the pen? Kinda bizarre. Unless Carm is going there , that would make more sense…
I don’t get this one.
Could he be part of a six man rotation to start the season and allow Skenes to open at home also?
