Let's guess the bullpen

[interloper]

For this exercise, let's say 4 SP (Cobb, Cashner, Bundy, Hess) and 8-man 'pen to start the season. If my math is off there, let me know.

Super-Locks
Givens
Bleier
Karns
Castro

Near-Locks
Fry
Wright (possible 5th SP)

Final Two
Scott
Rogers (possible 5th SP)

Odds are, one of these will be a waiver claim guy who can start games, but just for fun. 

Who you got? I've got 5 lefties which is definitely weird.

I agree with your locks.  I'll be interested to see if Karns can last a full season, injury free.  If Wright is on the team, I will flip out.

Curious to see if Bleier can still be effective without striking anyone out.

I think we are going to see a lot of people pass through the bullpen this year.

Evan Phillips has been lights out. In another thread you said you saw Arajuo making the team. Hmm?????

Not sure Karns is a lock. He may well rehab to build up innings with the goal of potentially joining the rotation instead.

Well there is that.

Very hard to guess when the coach doesn't go by stats.

Yep. That was a Zion Williamson throw down. @Moose Milligan broke the glass, yanked the rim off it's hinges and walked out of the gym with it in tow.

That's taking it a bit far.  I felt like I was just stating the obvious.  

Zion hasn't done this, either.

Has he broken a backboard or just that pair of shoes?

Great thread & post. I think this is spot on. The most precarious spot is probably Scott (pretty sure he has options).

Oh woops lol. I did say that. Hmmmm back to the drawing board.

Just the shoes, but I’m pretty sure he’d have no trouble breaking a backboard if that was a useful exercise.

I'm subbing out Scott for Araujo for 17 days. 

Agree Karns could possibly be held back to stretch out but I still think he's a lock. 

Wright and Rogers are vulnerable if there's a waiver claim SP or something.
