caulfield12 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Yikes, Moncada. About time to wake up. At least Jimenez looks nothing like his 2021 post injury form, and Robert playing like an MBP favorite already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Jose Ruiz is somewhere around our 10th best reliever. He is a great extra arm to have around at the very end of the bullpen. No we don't want him to pitch the 8th inning or anything, but he is fine for what he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendriks, Bummer, Graveman, and eventually Kelly will all be head of him.

Expand That’s the problem when you have zero depth. We really got to hope Crick’s AAA rebound translates to the majors and that one of the other young arms can step up. And that’s just the bullpen, far less chances for breakout performances with the rotation depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
