Joe Biagini: Starter or Reliever in 2017?

The 6’5 righty continues camp activities with the rest of the squad, yet with the psychological burden of not knowing whether he will continue in his role from last year, as the set-up to the set-up man, or be sent to the Jays AAA affiliate, Buffalo, to work as a starter.

As for options available, other candidates seem to point to Mat Latos or Mike Bolsinger.

Looking at each of them: Latos career-wise was great. Until 2015. Prior to, he kept an ERA in a comfortable 3 range from several seasons. Ever since though it’s been 4 at minimum, posting a 6.
