Starting Pitching
Headlined by returnees Ruben Alaniz and Jake Odorizzi, the Knights pitching staff expects to be even better than they were last season. With the recently acquired Kyle Crick joining the staff as well, they will have the depth they didn’t at the end of last season. Rounded out with Adys Portillo and Tanner Scheppers, the pitching staff looks to build upon a strong second half last season, and help carry the Knights to the playoffs.
Very impressed with the poise of GM Matt Wells to acquire young talents in the midst of a pennant race. The Knights look to have a well-rounded squad heading into spring training. Looking forward to potentially seeing Machamer come September, what a performance he is showing in Winter League. My prediction for the Knights is a guaranteed play off spot come 2020, with a heated division battle with TC.
Well done, Matt! Love the preview! Your rotation this year is looking like our rotation 2 seasons ago! I would like to see how these former “Dawgs” do in CHR. Also, your line up looks good, though the obvious question mark is at 3B. I went with a defensive 3B this year as well, so I don’t mind seeing a rookie there at 3B for CHR either. Hopefully he pans out, eeehhh I still hate CHR! #LoveLivePandas
