AAA (Syracuse)
Blade Tidwell (24yo/Right) - since going back down after his horrible debut. 5 games with a 3.04 ERA
Brandon Spoat (24yo/Right) - has had a rough AAA over 2 season with 18 starts. He did have a good start tonight 6 IP 0 ER 5H 4Ks

Jack Wenninger (23yo/Right) 2.56 ERA in 10 GS with a 10.3k per 9. Just turned 23 a few months ago

Tong
Sproat
Tidwell
Could be the new Harvey/Syndergaard/DeGrom/Wheeler/Matz staff we have soon. I still think we need to make a move for an ace(Cease) Senga is nasty, Manaea will be fin, Holmes is nice but we need that 1 guy at the top to drop everyone down 1 slot.
What the hell is wrong with Alvarez man, I thought this guy was going to be omthe new age Pudge but he has no pop.
This team should be in the WS this year
That's a very high bar, Harvey/Thor/deGrom etc. Sproat hasn't mastered AAA yet. Tidwell is interesting, but I don't think he has that kind of ceiling. Tong could be fun, but he walks a lot of batters and he's further away. McLean is interesting too. BA just put him in their overall top 100.
It'll be interesting to see some of those guys. Scott is back next year too, though he was pretty bad against lefties, but there's some upside with him as well. Depth is a plus.
Call Pitt see what they ask for Skenes, you wouldn't worry bout ur 1 for the next 10 years
