We have enough of our own fodder to have no real need for a Cueto type. Let's be honest, Elias is just using Lowther/Akin/A.Wells/Kremer/Ellis/Watkins to bide his time before Rodriguez/Hall/Bradish. Hopefully someone in that first group establishes themselves to even the level of a Zimmermann, and we have a nice surplus of decent arms. 

Another veteran arm at this point doesn't really move the needle for me. I wanna see if guys like Kremer, who has looked better this spring, can bounce back. What does Lowther do if he's not yo-yo'd? What does Akin do and why is it going back to the minors again? ;) Etc.

I prioritize reading how the young players are developing over watching the MLB team either live or on TV. When the MLB team's wins become an priority for the organization, watching them will become a

In Roch's blog article last evening Elias talked about why DL and Diaz were sent down.  Its not hard to think that the same logic applies to Bradish.  https://www.masnsports.com/school-of-roch/20

He should prioritize development over winning 65-70 games at most, if we are talking about usage of young players.  Whatever will help them become the best players they can be over the course of this

I'm actually fairly optimistic that Kremer, Lowther, Bradish and Zimmerman will show out better this year as a group. Not saying all will be good, but I do think they're all decent to good ML arms even if relegated to the bullpen. I'm less sure about Akin and very much less sure about A. Wells.
