He was pitching in the minors for the second half of last season. Apparently his stuff looked really good(sat in the mid 90's and showed an improved changeup) but he ran out of gas by the 3rd or so inning. Obviously, his top priority will be getting back into game shape this off season.

they wouldnt consider him a middle reliever now will they?

It's possible, if he looks awful in ST. I think they will give him another chance to start though, to see if he can hold up.

if his stuff is that good not enough to start though maybe even the closer?
i heard david robertson is slated to fill the closer void im sure thats his job to lose

e. chapman esc.

K-Rob will be the closer.

Hoping Pineda can get that lost spot.

Pineda would be A good 5th starter if he can stay healthy. He always had good potential.

Pineda is a potential #2 with the stuff that he has. Idk always been a huge believer in him, hopefully no injury issues this year

Tanaka will be a Mariner in no time.

If Pineda stays healthy and lives up to his hype. With cc. Roda. and Tanaka and nova it could be a very strong rotation.

ohhh lawd
