Personally, I have high hopes for slider-extraordinaire Chaz Roe. At 31 years old, he of the viral slider has yet to put it together. Going into Spring Training with no options remaining, and a solid showing last year, he was a good bet to make the Opening Day roster out of camp.
Roe cracked the roster as one of the few “regular” relievers on the team. He could go more than an inning if needed, but he’s not the 60-70 pitch multi-inning reliever the Rays stacked the bullpen with. Sure, you could say he’s traditional.
The Rays threw Roe right into the fire on Friday.
