Successes and Disappointments of Spring Training

Kyle Wright – The 2017 first round pick has earned a spot in the rotation earlier than most had envisioned. He’s a good bet to at least be a serviceable 4th/5th starter this year, but he could surprise some people.

Max Fried – His health and success means that a pitcher who has been someone we thought could be a #3 starter the moment he becomes a fixture in the rotation is closer to happening. If he can keep his blisters in check (and remember, he’s already had TJ), it looks like he’ll have a successful season.

Bryse Wilson – He’s earned a spot in the Opening Day rotation, but with Gausman throwing yesterday and Wilson lined up to start Saturday, I think his spot will be short-lived.
