To say that I’m feeling déjà vu would be an understatement.
Last February, I wrote a hypothetical piece about Chicago Cubs top pitching prospect Adbert Alzolay. I presented the idea of Alzolay starting his MLB career as a reliever, much like Chris Sale did with the Chicago White Sox. Check it out here, if you feel so inclined.
Almost a year later and the idea of Alzolay joining the Cubs as a reliever makes more sense now than it did then. In fact, it makes even more sense now than it did when I wrote about the 23-year-old in December.
