Spencer Arrighetti continues to progress in our front of our eyes. I mean, outside of his first career start against the Royals, the rookie right-hander hasn’t pitched that bad, especially in May. Has he been great? Nope. If the pitching depth situation was better, Arrighetti is undoubtedly starting games for Sugar Land. But as a fifth or sixth starter for an organization not exactly deep in extra pitchers at the moment, you can do worse. After all, beggars can’t be choosers.
But the progression Arrighetti has shown in recent weeks inspires some hope that the pitching staff will continue at least a slightly upward trajectory, if not better.
