Here’s the thing with Povich,
What role does he have on the 2024 and 2025 teams? He’s not cracking either team’s rotation and he’s not better as a LH RP than Coloumbe, Akin, or Perez. So at best he’s an up/down depth reliever for us. He’s worth more than that. So trade him to a 2nd division team that can try him out as a SP.
I heard it like he was trying to tell the manager don't mess with me, it's my game. Hyde did not listen after one batter reached.
Matt Harvey kind of messed that up for the Old Hoss Radbourn types, which probably most starters except Erik Bedard think they are.
MASN hasn't gotten around to probing Grayson Rodriguez's feelings about his current IL stint, as best I can tell.
And injuries do happen as we see with Means, Bradish and Wells already hitting the IL this year. If Povich continues to pitch anything like he has (say low 3 ERA rsst of way), I wouldn't be surprised if he has a spot on the opening day rotation.
