I keep thinking it's like, okay, if you push him a little bit more, maybe you can get more out of them.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
But there is like a line you got to be worried about.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
Cause like you said, he only threw 14 professional innings across multiple seasons in the minor leagues.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
That's why he was, that's why an arm this good was available in the rule five draft.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
So yeah,
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
yeah, what you're getting right now, a lot of it feels like found money, but a lot of it also feels like something you can build on.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
Now, can you build on it to Spencer miles as a starter later in this year?
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
I don't know that like, this is all so unprecedented that, you know, we, we talk sometimes with prospects in terms of, you know, how many extra innings can you give them this year?
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
There would have been talk.

JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
If Trey Savage started the season on time, there would have been talk about like getting him a rest period at some point during the season to manage his workload.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
Well, Spencer miles has nothing.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
Like, there's just, like, he threw seven innings in 2024.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
He threw eight innings in 2025.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
And he's already at 29 now.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
So, I'm not, and, like, I got asked on Twitter about, you know, could he become a starter?
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
What is the upside there?
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
He hasn't started games since he was at Missouri in 2022.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
So, like, you have to go so far back.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
And it's not just the, like, performance precedent.
Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Bullpen Day Works, State of Pirates & Cricket Day At The Park
It's, you know, how is his body going to respond to this?
