I’d like to put him back on waivers...

Still under the Straily line.

His lack of talent is why he was waived in the first place.  As my 93 yr old grandmother used to say in situations like this.  You  can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.  That was an 1800's expression.

Unless we are truly all about the tanking, hard to see how this guy is not DFAd. 

[Philip]

In the game thread I was getting admonishes for saying the same thing, but I stand by it. Dump him, dump Scott and Phillips and Hess and bring up other guys.

Name the specific guys you want, otherwise you are doing nothing but venting in frustration.

While I'm inclined to agree with one-L Philip's hot take, you are correct.  There are no clear cut better options.

At the same time, I feel that I've seen enough of these guys to know that...I don't need to see any more of them.  And that if we are going to keep searching for a diamond in the rough like Armstrong could be...well, let's keep searching.

Ok, I will, but the complaint remains valid. I don’t have to know who. There’s about 30 pitchers in the mid-upper minors right now. It is impossible that not one new guy can take the place of Hess, for instance. Remember he doesn’t have to be a budding star. Bring him up, give him 20 innings. Good heavens, we have no one who can duplicate what Scott just did?

Sure, I’ll get you some names, but the point remains valid.
