Garza isnt starting... He didn't have a single start for them in 21 and honestly we need relievers not starters...
Espino isn't touching the MLB roster baring injuries even if he is having a good season... He is what 15ish on the depth chart for starting pitching going into the 22 season and that actually may still be high. I hate to say it but if we see Espino in Cleveland starting there is issues with the big league club that none of us want to see...
I mean first of all, Cleveland will have Bieber, Civale, Plesac, Quantrill and TMac
Then Columbus will be Morgan, Morris, Myers then we have Battenfield, Mota, McCarty, Pilkington, Scott, Tully all vying for starting spots...
Then who doesnt win at AAA will be mixed with who has AA has Logan Allen, Cantillo, Curry...
High A has Espino, Hickman, Burns, Gaddis,
I don't see how Espino goes over Morgan, Morris, Myers, Battenfield, Pilkington, Logan Allen, Cantillo, Curry, Burns, etc,
The kid may have talent, but so do the rest of these guys and honestly are older as well. Espino doesn't even need to be protected until the 24 season... Baring injury we aren't seeing him outside of spring training until late 23/early 24...
