As is usually the case in the Tim Corbin era, the strength of the Diamond Dores lies in its pitching—both in terms of high end talent and depth. I will preview the potential weekend starters later this week, but know that pitchers previewed here as relievers could certainly start (and vice versa).
In short, we could have a dominant bullpen this year, with at least three candidates to be shutdown closers—including two seniors I didn’t expect to pass on MLB bonus offers going into last year’s draft. Like last year, the only potential achilles heel is depth of left-handed relief options.
