POSITION REPORT: Relief Pitchers
Joseph Roddy (10/9/9) is a 32yo “proven closer” with a $7.9m contract. Roddy is the best pitcher on the roster, but hugely overpaid for 70 IP, and might be valuable trade bait. 25yo righty Abe Catoe (10/6/7) got knocked around last season, his first, but will hopefully anchor the bullpen this year. Chris Ryerson (10/4/4) is a 37yo southpaw who got hammered last year. William Odonoghue (3/7/8) is a crafty LH veteran with more career BBs than Ks. Jimmy Burris (8/6/3) is 28yo, RH, and has 26 career IP with 27 BB. There are no prospects worth mentioning.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The bullpen has a solid anchor in Catoe, an overpaid closer/tradebait in Roddy, but everyone else is a junkballer.
