yes, and both are contractually obligated to sneeze only in Bubblewrap

[craviduce]

Hancel Rincon should've received honorable mention for last week. But you can't deny 8 K, 4 1/3 IP performance by Tink and leading the collective No-Hitter

Crav do you think Graceffo should get another chance to start? And do you think he will?

Crav do you think Graceffo should get another chance to start? And do you think he will?

Will he? Maybe next year, but that would mean his 4th year trying to start at AAA. At some point, you must read the writing on the wall. Love, Graceffo, and Granillo are my two favorites from 2021 draft. I'm afraid they're all 3 BP or bust.

Will they need a AAA arm? If we try to plan it out, we have a likely rotation in AAA of....Robberse, Rom, Henderson, Rajcic, Roby, Hence, and maybe Matthews/Thompson if the MLB is overcrowded.

He needs to develop and command a 3rd pitch to be a starter going forward. He's never been able to do that. McGreevy mastered the cutter last season, worked on it for 2 or 3 months in AAA, then got his first start in MLB and took off with that pitch. That's my comp for Graceffo right now...he NEEDS that 3rd pitch to be well above average.

I have to imagine that one or both of Robberse and Rom might not be with the org next season...hate to see it, but the org. moved on from Kloffenstein without batting an eye.

that's a good poll question....should he get another chance to start? Or...Will the Cards give him another chance?


My "wanting them to give him another chance", is clashing with "will they"

2 spots open next year when Fedde and Mikolas depart.

Assuming Libby finishes well and no injuries or set backs. The current candidates for the 2 SP slots are, ...

McGreevy
Mathews
Roby
Hence
Graceffo

Who else are candidates in the system? Which is likely to be ready for 2026 rotation? Will Bloom sign another SP?

Graceffo should get a look in ST. Yes he needs to develop a 3rd pitch now.

Kade Anderson will be there in a year.

[Talkin' Baseball]

I would like to see Zack Thompson get a look as a starter the way that Liberatore has if he is healthy. He has been yanked around the same way. He was a first round draft choice, is now 27-28 years old and we still don't know what he is.

Can he stay healthy enough?

That’s the difference between Libby and Zack.

I’ve thought Rom adds nothing but I’d like to keep Robberse.
