    I think Sobo and Jackson have been pleasant surprises this year. Sobo could be high leverage next year.

    Sobotka has an arm. But he needs another year in the minors. Maybe in the second half of next year.

    Pen 2019 is shaping up like this:

    4 Righties: Viz, O'Day, Winkler with Carle and Jackson battling it out for the last spot (I think Carle has options left)

    4 Lefties: Minter, Venters, Biddle and Freeman

    Sobotka will be part of some very good depth in AAA in all likelihood.

    I agree, but it needs to be pointed out that it takes 10-12 relief pitchers at a minimum... probably more. There is plenty of room for all of these guys, and a few more rotating up and down as needed.

    the pitching staff in AAA always come into play...sometimes at the lower levels too

    Clouse should be close. I also liked Parson and he might serve as great depth.

    And then the whole group of starting pitchers who are depth for both the major league rotation and pen
