| 2020-01-24 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What do you think of Eduardo Rodriguez and Trevor Richards over the next 3-4 years. What kind of pitcher do they develop into?
(caseyj15 from Medford, OR) | I think we have seen the best Rodriguez has to offer, which is quite good. 200+ IP with 200+ Ks is a rarity these days. He turns 27 just after OD and I would expect more of the same from him, though he did outperform his 4.46 DRA and prior knee issues are still a background concern for me. I know some value him more highly than I do, but his early NFBC ADP is reasonable (136) and he is a top-150 dynasty asset for me. As for Richards, it is hard to say exactly what Tampa Bay plans to do with its plethora of arms, especially since they heavily utilize the opener. Last year, he was used as the arm behind the opener akin to Ryan Yarbrough and Yonny Chirinos. That rotation is loaded, though, with Snell, Morton, and Glasnow as locks, and Yarbrough, Chirinos, McKay, and Richards as the chief competition for the 4/5 spots. Given Richards' so-so control and basically two-pitch arsenal (FB/CH), he probably profiles best in a middle relief role. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2016-12-08 23:00:00 (link to chat) | Ryan Yarbrough had a very solid year of growth in Double-A. Some reports say his sinker/changeup combo has excelled, his slider has continued to improve with every year, and his DRA is nothing to sneeze at. All the signs point to an under-the-radar performer aided by a friendly home ball park, friendly divisional ball parks, and bad divisional opponents.What's your take on him? Could he break camp as a starter or is it going to take the eventual Paxton/Iwakuma/Hernandez/Miranda breakdown?
(Punchoutpapoy from First in Flight) | It's not *entirely* fair to ask me about lanky lefties with quality cambios, because they are my Achilles heal as an evaluator and I will always sing you their praises. But yeah, he had a solid year. I dunno how under-the-radar he really is, to be honest - he's very much in the mix for the back end of our Mariners top-ten (coming next week!). The breaker is the big hang-up for him, and he's succeed thus far as a level-a-year guy. I wouldn't be shocked to see him log some spot innings next year, but I wouldn't expect him to be a primary option in Seattle yet. (Wilson Karaman) |

Ryan Yarbrough.
(euqubudhp from Seattle) | Ryan Yarbrough. I like him. I don't love him, but I think he might be the safest pitching prospect in the system. Throws strikes with three pitches from a repeatable delivery and he's shown some ability to miss bats. Mariners Top 10 comes soon. (Christopher Crawford) |
