Looks like it will be Renfrow > Stieg > Grim based on enclosed...
X post.
Personally I was going to predict Renfrow > Stieg > Robertson but the fact that Grim could beat out Robertson who was drafted by the Rangers would be a minor surprise. Granted, Grim was a borderline draft prospect coming out of high school last year so he is well-regarded in his own right but still, I thought for sure Robertson would be a weekend starter.
In any case, I will be curious to see how Robertson is used. I suspect he, Eisenreich, Crowl and Weber could be our top long relievers in terms of RHP and then possibly Clement, Swift and/or Yagesh from the left side.
With Grim having a weekend role, will be curious who our primary weekday starter will be. Among younger pitchers, Tyler Stone would be a good option.
And taking your conversation starter a step further, what is everyone's guess on the batting lineup for this weekend? Here is mine:
1. Hughes, CF (L)
2. Daniel, SS (R)
3. Gates, RF (L)
4. Cooke, C (R)
5. Ball, DH (L)
6. Petrich, 3B (R)
7. Grube, LF (L)
8. French, 1B (L)
9. Grady, 2B (R)
And similar to last year, I fully expect we'll see a lot of mixing and matching and shuffling of the lineup to find something that works hopefully more consistently than our offense did last year.
