Robles is a lefty who can throw 94-96 and his change is probably better when healthy.
Pryor is a righty closer who can get that and even a little more.
Burgoon and Bischoff will both be in AA this year - both of them were college closers.
Butler's another lefty who could be converted and in the pen Wilhemsen-style this year.
Ruffin is a future setup man.
Furbush should stay in the pen, IMO, and could be dangerous there.
Maurer might move to the pen and he might be our best non-big-three starter in the minors.
Moran doesn't throw hard, but he has devastating offspeed stuff as a southpaw.
We have quite a few mid-90s arms or weapons in other ways.
But we're gonna need to promote the arms that are working out. We can't continue with the sort of mush we've seen so far from the Ms for very far into the season.
And I'd still trade for a good bullpen arm as soon as one's available. You really can't have too many, and leaving a few on the farm to season rather relying on an entire rookie squad to come through is a smarter plan, IMO.
