Could anyone have foreseen this happening?
At 11 and 9 appearances a piece, Miguel Castro and Roberto Osuna are being used like veteran relievers in medium-to-high leverage situations. Castro is tied for the most appearances in the American League, and Osuna is not far behind.
But is this all too much too soon for the pair of twenty year-old rookies? Has John Gibbons already flown too close to the sun by using Miguel Castro and Roberto Osuna so frequently?
Castro and Osuna started off the season initially as weapons stashed away in the Blue Jays' bullpen.
