Matt Andriese In The Mix For Role In Bullpen Day Starts
7 years agoTampa Bay Rays pitcher Matt Andriese is in the running to fill one of the multi-inning roles that will play a key part of the strategies the Rays hope to employ during the games where they will go with a bullpen approach rather than a traditional starting pitcher. Speculation suggests they will have at least four pitchers on their roster who can go multiple innings other than the four traditional starting pitchers. Andriese has been a starter for the majority of his career as he has started 44 games in his three seasons in the majors. He has had mediocre results so far as he is below .500 and has had an ERA above 4.00 in each of the three seasons. His strikeout totals or even K/9 rate are unremarkable. As part of this experiment, he is unlikely to have value outside of very deep formats.
