I know many people are not expecting too much from our triple A pitchers. I have a feeling that Wisler, Blair, and Newcomb (to name a few)...might just come out of the gate HOT.
Why? Last year we threw them into the fire. This year? With the trades and signings....the pressure is kinda off.
What "if" Blair, Wisler, Newcomb (or any of the great AA guys) come out and basically pitch their way into a roster spot...a spot that if Folty takes another step...will not be there.
It's a great problem to have of course, but what will we do if we have two or three AAA guys dominating with no spot? Trade the vets early? Trade the AAA guys just as they have clicked??
I have a feeling this is the year it begins to come together for our triple A prospects...what a great mess that will be.
