They have 16 pitchers in camp, and three of them are Crochet, Lynn, and Kelly…so something has to come from outside the organization. 13 pitchers with expanded rosters isn’t really a good option…at least not for more than a week. They’ll probably have 14 pitchers by April 16.
Wouldn’t be counting on him starting a playoff game at this point, but his ERA+ was 100 last year when he started. Probably better than Velasquez or Lopez could do until Lynn is back. We need bodies. Now.
Insert an opening day weather report here…
Friday in Detroit looks rainy in the 40s. The other two days look dry for now.
Home opener has an improvement in temps coming. Mid 60s.
Regardless of him being prone to injuries, I’m rooting for Madrigal to have a long career. Maybe not 3000 hits, but 2k would be cool. He’s good for baseball.
