Anyone see anything in the stats to give hope. I think his walk wait is high which won’t fit. Maybe the Os think they can improve?

No idea, but his walk rate in the minors was not bad.  In low A ball back in 2018, he only walked 4 in 56 innings.   He's relieved and started and had started 3 games in the minors this year before his call up.  No idea about his stuff.

2021 looks like it was his first year mostly starting in minors after several years relieving.   He managed about 5 innings/game, not bad considering.   Walk rate way down in first three starts repeating AAA this year.

4.04 ERA in 329 minor league innings; Watkins is 3.86 ERA in 625.   

Bradish AAA this year was 30 and 5 K% and BB% in about 15 innings; Sulser's been 27 and 4; Denyi Reyes was 27 and 5.

He might be Norfolk's #1 if Rodriguez and Hall ever get here.

Little surprised at the Fry DFA. He was getting it together in May but I can't really argue with taking him off the roster either. He was only making 150k over the minimum and he can't really be trusted, so if you're ok with running a veteran out there who can't be trusted, you might as well use that roster spot get a look at some waiver claims instead. At least until you're ready to call up some guys.

Elias has had a good amount of success with pitcher waiver claims. Not perfect but any means, but he's hit on a few including a good percentage of guys who currently make up our solid bullpen this year.

It's extra nice that we can stash him in AAA.

Hall can really bring the heat but I am not convinced he is a starter. Looks to be a textbook closer to me. Our SP isn’t as deep as people think imo.

      DC is a FA. Soto and Dominguez are interesting decisions. SA is do 8M next year. Soto is under team control and likely looking at a salary in the 6.5M range.   In some ways, they sound like overpays for each. OTOH, they miss bats, can be high leverage guys and you don’t have long term commitments with either. As of now, I lean towards keeping both. I would like to re-sign DC depending on the contract. But I would still like to add another power arm. Now, that power arm could be an unproven close to ML ready prospect you get for Mullins or Mounty or OHearn. It doesn’t have to be someone you sign to a major deal. There may also be some ML relievers available for trade that makes sense. We see these teams all the time that just seemingly have power arm after power arm and we don’t have that. Elias has failed to address the pen properly imo and really, we don’t know if Felix will be the 2023 Felix going forward.  The pen has to be seen as a priority this year.    I want to see resources poured into the pitching staff and the improvement of the defense.

      So what would you offer?, For me Max 2 years with mutual option. IF its any more than that keeping him might be tough.

      The pen needs more help than just Bautista. So let’s say Santander is gone and the offense misses him…but what if the defense and pitching get better? People seem to have this narrow view of the sport that you can only win one way or with certain players.

      What's up peeps???  Lord I needed that win yesterday!!  Then the hubs and I (and about 200 other folks LOL) met Taters at a local restaurant establishment meet and greet last night.  And that was INSANE (in a good way).

      Oddly, it’s the offense that I’m worried about for next year. Theoretically, we should go back to having a dominant pen with Bautista back. That helps shorten the game from the back of the pen down.  We’ve shown the ability under this regime to be able to piece together a rotation.  Subtracting Santa from this offense will be tough.

      Yep and by saying himself, I’d say his defense has been a major disappointment
