Roach was really interesting to watch Friday night. It's kind of a bummer to have to send a kid who had that kind of spring down to AAA. But I'm actually kind of glad about it. Every spring during the Z regime we saw some previously below average shock the world in March and fight for a spot on the roster. Then generally the kid was exposed in April and promptly sent down. See: Tyler Olsen in 2015, Abe Almonte 2014, Carlos Peguero 2013, etc.
I am totally on board with seeing if Roach's plateau jump are legit - in AAA first. If he keeps it up I have no doubt an opportunity will present itself in the major league pen. And I look forward to it! Depth is a great thing to have, turns out.
