Feel for Jesse.  That might be all she wrote for his MLB shots at his age, and he could have easily carved out a nice role this year. 

Carved out a role as what exactly?  He was absolutely terrible last year and he was turning 30.  A guy like Scholtens taking up a spot on the roster is why Getz does not have roster crunch issues.

85 innings

1-9 record (yes, it’s a team stat but a record this bad is hilarious nonetheless)

5.29 ERA

1.53 WHIP

100 hits

58 strikeouts

30 walks

Pretty much just as a long-relief role but that seems to be going to Touki (barring injuries).

Carved out a role as a swing man on a bad team making some starts and eating some innings out of the pen?  Not sure how that is some wild stretch.  I am not talking about the guy becoming a mainstay in the pen for the next half decade.

On a team with a ton of youngsters, a guy who can go out and give you a lot of innings on a regular basis out of the pen is something that is valuable.  Not burning out your kids who are your future is a thing.

This team has a ton of youngsters?

He was better out of the bullpen than he was starting the game. Even so, as a starter, he put up some nice game scores against Texas, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Baltimore. 

Putting on my dick hat, again, maybe if the Sox traded him for Baily Horn, all the people mocking Scholtens would be telling us how he was great prospect depth we shouldn't have given up on.

No, because he's 30 in April and not a prospect.

Sure, but he was also a guy who Getz should have been quick to drop for a more promising and younger DFA.

Yep, "just a guy" is the phrase that has been tossed around here lately for certain guys. Or as I like to call them: JAGs.

I didn't see him making the team this year, honestly. Touki does the same thing, only better.

TJ surgery set for Friday.  Getz couldn’t dare drop this talented 29 year old pitcher with a 5+ ERA in 2023 last week to make room for a waiver claim of 24-year old OF prospect Canaan Smith-Njigba.  ?

They couldn’t if they knew he was injured.  Grievance would have been filed by MLBPA.

They have Davis Martin waiting for a 60-day IL, too. I liked Smith-Njigba. He passed through the 8 worst teams twice. Fangraphs seems to think he's a AAAA player. He just doesn't seem to be well regarded.

A thoughtful discussion regarding the increase in pitching injuries and the role of increased spin rates vs. increased velocity in terms of stress on arms over the last few years.

Canaan Smith-Njigba has an .887 OPS, 3 homers, and 2 stolen bases this Spring.  Yes, it’s only Spring Training but Getz couldn’t dare give up a guy like Scholtens or another scrub on the 40-man roster for him.

Amed Rosario also lighting it up for Rays.

Another Wilson Betemit or Ryan Sweeney-esque spring training?
