Neither rain nor bug can keep Cal Quantrill from staying in Padres’ rotation fight

PEORIA, Ariz. —

Cal Quantrill has shown the willingness and prowess to pitch whenever and wherever.

“Sometimes I can be too prideful and say I want to be a starter, I want to be an All-Star,” Quantrill said. “In the end, the best teammate you can be and best player you can be is taking whatever role you’re given at that time and trying to dominate it.”

As if what he did last season, pitching effectively as a starter and out of the bullpen, wasn’t enough to demonstrate his ability to go with the flow, Quantrill this spring has been given some curveballs to deal with.
