The team would also get a draft pick if he accrues one year of service time and wins Rookie of Year. Quote

chasfh Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I’m pretty confident Jobe will come in as a fourth starter, and that the fifth slot will be up to Mazda or Mize to win it. I think Mazda is the favorite since, believe it or not, Mize is still optionable. 1 Quote

I think Mazda is the favorite since, believe it or not, Mize is still optionable. Expand Crazy thought but Maeda's strikeout #'s/9 seem to indicate possible late inning reliever if he can maintain 91-92. I think he could end up in short relief. Quote

This might be an indication that the contrast between his stuff and the stuff of the pitcher he relieves is substantial enough to flummox batters out of the gate. 1 Quote

We now have McStinky, Captain Jack and Mazda. And I guess Tork. Seriously Mazda pitched great in relief for the Dodgers and his velo in short relief should sustain year long. Could prolong his career as well. Quote

Sports_Freak Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) Harris may have found a very good arm in Hanifee. His numbers from last season kinda surprised me and he's picking right back up this spring. That pitching chaos really got some of these guys valuable experience. Edited March 13 by Sports_Freak 1 Quote

IdahoBert Posted March 13 Posted March 13 So many of these guys just seemed to emerge from obscurity last year. Brenan Hanifee is one of them. Quote
