Really interesting comments from Buckley in the article, especially on Lutz being in AAA before next year is done.
I was interested in him calling Cingrani's change-up "plus." We've been talking about him as a one pitch guy with a good fatsball and little else. If he's a reliever, I'd say he's major league ready.Quote:

I was glad to see the report on Carlos Contreras. He and Wirfin Obispo could be under-the-radar guys to help in the bullpen before long.
Pleasantly surprised to see the positive evaluation of Travis Mattair, too.
Agreed. Up to 98 for Contreras? Who knew? And yes, Obispo was dynamite toward the end of the season--which makes me wonder if they might continue to start him.Quote:

And from there, he became one of the top starters in the system this year.
