DateQuestionAnswer
2019-06-03 19:00:00 (link to chat)Is Ryan Jensen gonna end up in the back end of the MLB bullpen? As a primarily FB/SL, one-year starter and former bullpen arm, how do you think the Cubs see him? Thanks
(Kraig Cimbrel from Chicago, IL)		The Cubs haven't developed a lot of home grown pitching talent, as opposed to their position players. Going with a guy who has great arm talent and seeing how they can develop him is an interesting approach, as they've recently targeted more polished college pitchers like Alex Lange. When you pick as high as Jensen was, you run him out as a starter for as long as possible. (Keanan Lamb)
