Roby continues to be a prospect to watch.
But....he threw 38 innings last year. I believe he has had some injury issues??
Seems healthy now and in AA I believe?
Maybe we should just let him progress this season BEFORE trying to shoehorn where his value COULD be in StLouis??

That's true. But it's fun to project outstanding talent in the organization.

Yes it is.
Most rising pitching prospects come up through the minors as starters.
They get innings that way and they can determine if he has the repertoire to succeed as a starter.
If they don’t and can only have a strong command of one or two pitches they get shifted to the BP.
