Let me begin by stating clearly: I am no scout. I do not look at certain minor league players the way our own prospect team here (Cormican and Jay Polinsky) does with the ability to project how well a player will do at different levels. What I do have is the ability to read and make critical thoughts based on what I read. And from what I have gathered from around the internet, the time has come to end the “Mark Appel as a starter” conversation and begin trying to salvage some value from his acquisition by converting him to a reliever.
It’s time to make Mark Appel a reliever
