Which non-roster invitee are you most excited to watch this spring?
Looking at the nri list here is my guess as our “depth chart” at starter.
1. Sale
2. Schwellenbach
3. Strider
4. Lopez
5. Holmes
6. Elder
7. Wentz
8. Suarez
9. Waldrep
10. Fuentes
11. Perez
12. Ritchie
Those 12 guys could start games now. I put several guys in front of Waldrep and Fuentes simply bc of options and imo they will get a shot before them but they are better than most of them. These next guys have a little left to prove but some of them could really be contributors later this season.
1. Lara
2. O Murphy
3. Sinnard
4. Baumann
5. Braun
Lara is a reilever but if we are down to #13 starter he prob gets a shot. Most these guys are more 27 candidates but they could be late season call ups.
Thanks Jake!
Sifting through the bargain bin hoping to find gold
Gwinnett is going to have a stacked pitching staff.
I can’t say I want Bummer in any high leverage situation. Dude is not a good option.
