I’ve written here before about Dillon Maples, a “stuff” D.M. with 6 letters in each name. That experiment had mixed results in 2018, and we very well may see a repeat of that in 2019. Maples still has a ton of skills, even if finding the strike zone on a consistent basis isn’t one of them. While the supply of 20-somethings with crazy pitches has certainly increased over the past 5 years, they are still finite. Because of this, Dillon will probably get a few more chances.
The reason he might get a chance here is because the Cubs just don’t have a great bullpen.
