Sparkman had TJS in 2014 but looks solid. Hopefully can be the 2017 Biagini

[burlingtonbandit]

Sparkman started a nice follow-up year to his strong 2014 performance with four promising starts in Double-A before going down with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. He has a lot of deception with his delivery, using a slow-to-fast tempo that is tough for hitters to time up. The Royals prefer pitchers focusing on one breaking ball during development, though there is ongoing discussion over whether his slider or curve is more projectable. He’s not a big power guy but commands his fastball very well. Assuming he comes back fully healthy, there’s a chance he turns his deception and command into middle to back-end starter role.

Sounds like a #4/5 starter or swingman profile. Will be interesting to see if we can get a strong contribution out not the rule V for a second straight year.

Matt Smoral got taken by Texas in the Minor league Rule5 draft.

[Brownie19]

Who names their '92 baby Glenn? jesus mom.

 

I love how he's listed as a switch hitter too.

Correct, anyone selected in the major league portion has to either stay on your 25 man all year or be offered back to their previous club.

26) Red Sox select Josh Rutledge from the Rockies

Yankees got pillaged. That's a lot of rule 5 picks.

RIP Matt Smoral (2012-2016).

Does seem kind of unfair that one team could lose four players in the Rule-5 draft.

[BTS]

So right now we have:

 

Osuna

Grilli

Biagini

Loup (only lefty, so close to lock, but does have options)

 

out of options

Bolsinger

Oberholtzer

Schultz

 

remaining options

Campos

Leone

Barnes

Dermody

Girodo

 

Of the out of options guys, Bo Schultz is probably finished here. Bolsinger is probably close to a lock to make the team, as he's a very useful swingman and probably wouldn't make it through waivers. So there will probably be some competition between Sparkman and Oberholtzer for one spot, with Sparkman having more upside, and thus the inside track. So something like:

 

Osuna

Grilli

Biagini

free agent signing

Loup

Bolsinger

Sparkman/Oberholtzer/one of the guys with options only if they other two suck in spring

[Pendleton]

The Reds took two catchers in the major league portion. I'm assuming they'll let them fight it out for the backup job in ST?

[fatcowxlive]

What ever happened to Smoral?

Oberholtzer is lefty (Plus for him)

 

Atkins said he want one OF, backup catcher and 2 RP's via FA (25 more millions to spend)

[Pendleton]

What ever happened to Smoral?

 

Injuries and major command issues.

[Angrioter]

Traded to Texas for Profar

I think we're definitely going to add a couple of FA pieces, but with the FO saying that Biagini is gonna remain in the pen and Loup looking like a 'strong' option I think they know the market is tight for us to get relievers.

 

Our starting pitching depth is pretty thin too, no?

[BTS]

It's hard to see Oberholtzer making the team. Him and Bolsinger are too similar (guys whose value is in their ability to quickly transition to the rotation, but don't have the stuff to profile as very good relievers), but Bolsinger seems to just be a better pitcher. Oberholtzer probably gets through waivers too.

[HERPDERP]

why do you guys have no love for Barnesy :[

He's good, but it's hard to see a path to the opening day roster for him barring injuries, because he has options.
