KnightsOnMintSt Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 With so many good pitching prospects, we are bound to have some guys in the bullpen. Where do we think they end up? Here is what I think... Kopech- Starter Giolito- Long Reliever Lopez- Starter Fulmer- Reliever Cease- Reliever Hansen- Starter Dunning- Reliever Adams- Reliever Stephens- Starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do we think they end up? Here is what I think... Kopech- Starter Giolito- Long Reliever Lopez- Starter Fulmer- Reliever Cease- Reliever Hansen- Starter Dunning- Reliever Adams- Reliever Stephens- Starter I like the topics you've started over the past few days. Don't make it over this way to the prospect board as much as I'd like but I do like the discussion. At this point my guesses are: Kopech - starter Giolito - starter - I know a lot have been down on him but I think he's the classic case of a Liriano or Gavin Floyd type. A guy who has the stuff and snaps in and out of it a lot. Hot and cold stretches. Very sensitive to whos catching him, home/away splits, etc. etc. Lopez - Starter Fulmer - I think the experiment will end as a starter by next year - reliever Cease - TBD - don't know a lot about him Hansen - Just by sheer numbers wise I'd think reliever but who knows Dunning - For sure starter The last two I don't know enough about to give an opinion Another thing to think about it is injuries (Burdi) that are inevitable, DL trips, and trades. I always go back to the Rays as my example. They have 2-3 pitchers ready to fill their rotation spots if and when Archer is eventually traded. I like that model as a lower market team. We're never going to spend with the big guys - we're the Brewers, Rays, A's type team with the ability to top out as like a Twins, Cardinals type budget if all pieces fall into place.
