You know, you don't have to throw 102 all the time.

If you're a Roldis Chapman, that's your calling card.

But if you turn into a pitcher, you know that it's going to be a lot of different things set up.

You can set up the fastball.

You can do a lot of stuff with a splinker pitch and everything else he has in his arsenal.

So I think he's learning how to utilize all of that and maybe induce more ground balls as opposed to strikeouts.

My only concern is...

Are they as good as we think they are, number one?

Who's we?

I'm talking about Ashcraft, Bubba Chandler.

No.

Well, I mean, we have to base it on potential because that's pretty much what we have to deal with here.

Skeens is going to be the best pitcher in baseball.

That's a good place to start.

I think Keller has to take a step up with regard to innings pitched.

He had 176.

I'd like to see him get to 200 because I think on the other side of that, Ashcraft –

Bubba Chandler and Majinski are not going to be those kinds of pitchers.

They're going to go five innings most likely and maybe six if it's a good day and then the bullpen has to come in.

So I still think Hunter Barco will end up in that starting rotation at some point.
