Hurston Waldrep made his AAA debut on Saturday, leaving the door cracked for him to get a shot at the majors and potentially a spot on the playoff roster out of the bullpen. Waldrep had a good outing, striking out 5 over 4.1 innings, walking 3, and needing 75 pitches. He struck out 4 over his first two innings. He has walked a few more than is comfortable in the minors, which was a concern in college, but a good number of those walks were in AA, with the experimental tacky ball. He has struck out a ton in the minors, just as he did in college, and he does seem to have some very high end stuff that should play at any level, which is what leaves the door open for him to be used as a bullpen option.
