WOW !! ...the next Kluber !!... (lol)...
Scott Moss worked his way back from a difficult TJ surgery and rehab in 2018/19.. His time in SD was over.. IDK wtf they were doing with him?.. trying to make a power pitcher out of him? Scottie Moss' fastball / cut fastball both spins moves enough while he locates it well enough and has enough fade on a change up to be an effective/valuable LHRP out of the Indians pen. IDK that he'll be starter, but will continue to be stretched out as one going forward. His FB that moves/up in the zone should play up a bit better as an RP, imho..
Thoughts?
Moss did come from the Reds lol Allen came from the Padres
Either way, they planned on Moss being a starter and most likely will keep him there for the time being. Allen, Moss, Hentges, Meija, will all be stretched out to be starters to start the season and so likely will Vargas. Now that being stated, anyone from the left side could see bullpen action since we don't have much depth from that side in 21.
Kluber also needed to find a pitch that made his group of pitches better and he did find that eventually. Plesac, Civale have to develop their off speeds more as well and some analysts said Civale is a pitch away from becoming a legit MLB starter. We have to see how the guys develop and I don't know enough about Moss to say one way or the other, but we have to trust the development team and the FO to get these guys with the right training and the right mix of pitches. It has worked for many years now, so I think I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
