Plus several others who labor throughout our pharm teams.

Waiting to evaluate these two:

Both have the potential to be #2s IMO. But Carrasco should be judged onbly when his learning that curve ball he is working on. We should note that his K/inns has IMPROVED this season…and likely because of that add’l pitch. So, given some more patient time –a couple months–and see if he keeps this superior pitching going…and if so, he should then be moved UP to AAA.

Outman has been working on his command (as HOPEFULLY Happ is too) and looks like he is confusing to hitters so with a bit better command plusw his quirky stuff, he too should be with AAA in a couple of months.

Both in preparation to aid the big club in Aug/Sept..??

And then there is Savery….

That is basically the consensus among most MLB scouts to include both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus. That’s what we’re basing it off of, I believe. A middle of the rotation guy isn’t something to scoff at considering that 4th or 5th starters are making $8 million a year these days (i.e. Adam Eaton)

I’m not sure what the basis for that is, but since Outman is left handed and is still “adjusting” to his mechanics, maybe he has a better ceiling?
