Cool glad we didn't cash Canario in over the winter when it was already obvious he had no place on this team and was inevitable trade bait.

Good outing out of Mulé 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K

On the heel of Gray and Wheat also having good outings in the last week. Would love to see them turning the corner on their control problems.

Canario’ not going to fetch much, I really doubt his trade value was ever high, other teams have data on him and know he’s limited.  He’s throw in  or add on to another deal.

Should they move Drew Gray to the bullpen next year? I guess it depends on where he opens, yes if Tennessee? This isn’t to shut the door on a Future as a SP, more about a quicker path to MLB. It’s not pretty pretty but he’s been an interesting pro, I most see the 2 HRs allowed and Ks

Nope. He needs the innings to work on things and build the arm.

if he's throwing a similar amount of innings, why does it matter if he gets them starting games

I guess I don't care if he's starting or piggybacking, but I want him to get the innings.
