mjp28 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 ▪︎ ⚾ So what do you all think about our "patched-together" relief squad of pitchers ? Besides Clase ..... just good ennough for now ? Whatever ? [ NOTE ] The below list and explanations were put out just before the season started. They are (6-2) now, Clase has 3 saves, whoa ! Relief pitchers (8): Emmanuel Clase, Scott Barlow, Eli Morgan, Nick Sandlin, Tim Herrin, Hunter Gaddis, Tyler Beede, Cade Smith The club lost Xzavion Curry and Ben Lively for a while due to the virus that spread through the clubhouse, which put them too far behind to be ready by Opening Day. Sam Hentges was slowed by a swollen middle finger on his throwing hand and is working his way back now. Trevor Stephan has to undergo elbow surgery this month and has no return date in sight. James Karinchak is still building up after reporting to camp with right shoulder fatigue. This meant the Guardians needed other guys to step up. Gaddis was excellent this spring, while Beede will provide some much-needed length and Herrin started pounding the strike zone as spring camp progressed. The Guardians sat down with Smith and let him know that he’s done everything right to earn his spot on this team, but Cleveland will need to figure out how best to use him and everyone else in the 'pen.
