    Yep they promoted him and was pitching with shin splints so they shut him down

    Tyler Kinley is NOT a big loss(if we even lose him). Throws 100+ but no control

    We also lost Carlos Diaz to Oakland in minor league part

      LHP Carlos Diaz was taken from the Marlins by the A's in the AAA phase. Only pitched five games in the organization last year. Looks like he was signed out of the independent leagues in August. This was a blurb I found on him:

        Wouldn't be surprising to see Elieser HErnandez in the pen

        No scouting reports on him yet but sounds like hard throwing type and alot easier to stick

          Yea read something on fangraphs from like 2015 that he was 92-94 as a starter so that should be higher from the pen.

            Trader Mike says both Rule 5 guys are "Starters", Still think Hernandez gets a look in the pen especially if like something

            Hernandez was selected off the Astros' roster. The 22-year-old from Venezuela combined for a 5-5 record with a 3.68 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 73 1/3 innings between Rookie-level and Class A Advanced in 2017. "We saw him late, and he finished strong," Hill said. "Three-pitch mix, very composed, clean delivery. We like his ability to maintain his delivery and repeat and throw strikes."

            Graves, 24, was taken in the second round of the Major League phase. He went 1-1 with a 4.47 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 56 1/3 innings between Class A Advanced and Double-A last season. "If you look at him, year over year over year, the spin rate on his curveball ranks among the highest in Minor League Baseball," Hill said. "He got better from '15 to '16, made a big jump. From '16 to '17, he made even a greater jump, well-above-average curveball. We think it's an out pitch."
