(Yes, it's ridiculous, it's not like they have a burned out pen, but "send in a position player to pitch against the Not Even Close To Trying White Sox on Opening Day" is a real achievement)
I see what you’re saying, but it’s important to remember they only signed him two days ago. Which doesn’t make this better, it makes it even worse the Angels are such a farce.
Nicky Lopez pitching is an aesthetic travesty and a disgrace to the idea of baseball as an entertainment product; Ryan Johnson pitching (today) is a narrative and developmental travesty and a disgrace to the idea of baseball as a sport operated by competent adults
Is he actually a straight relief prospect, and Perry Minasian’s just paying lip service to him as an eventual starter? Or is he a straight relief prospect because of who he is as a pitcher and the org he’s in? Not being sarcastic. Legitimately asking.
