Knights 2020 Season Preview

Bullpen

bullpenWith a closer who has less than a full season of major league service time, and only one lefty, whom was taken in the rule 5 draft, the bullpen looks to be a potential weak spot for the Knights. But when asked, the utmost confidence was had in them, even though 4 of the bullpen arms still has rookie eligibility. The team sees them as a group that will feed off of good outings, and with the electric stuff they all possess, they look to be poised for a strong season. Jesus Arroyo will be the closer to begin the season, with rule 5 draft pick Rob Lee as the lefty specialist. Recently acquired Lucas Sims will be a setup man, along with the oldest player on their roster, Al Albuquerque, while rookies Greg Chamberlain and Damian Cooper are middle relievers. Luke Jackson will be the spot starter, and first guy into the rotation if there is an injury.

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
