We got a good one in Reese McGuire. Exactly what we needed since McCann left. 

He would make a good battery mate for Kopech.  A young pitcher needs a steadying influence.  McGuire has the ability to frame and make pitches look better than they are.

I understand the thought that Banks' stuff doesn't look great individually but I think it will play decently well. He does a good job of keeping his arm behind him and has a fairly quick whip forward. The fastball looks like it has some life/rise at 94. The slider is probably below average but it was spotted mostly pretty well. It comes down to whether he can routinely spot the change on the outside corner. It has enough armside movement to play off his slider and fastball well. 

I think he could stick. He doesn't walk too many but he doesn't strike out too many either. He will live or die on the quality of contact against him and I think he could produce average exit velocities against. That should be good enough for a depth reliever.

Should have been a sweep, but 2 outta 3 does the job

One bad pitch away from a sweep. Oh well. Good recovery. It should also tell Detroit they have a long ways to go.
