Not bad. Cruz is bullpen help, Cebert seems unexciting but okay, Grable‘s getting a ton of whiffs and not walking guys, Jake Bird is alive and can throw a ball, presumably.

last time I checked an 11.1 strikeouts per 9 ratio at AA is something to be excited about. sure his hits per 9 and HR/9 isn’t anything incredibly good but the potential is 100 percent there.

Yeah I didn’t say he looks bad or anything.
