KellyHOST
The list goes on.
KellyHOST
Gary Paredes and Mick Abel are on the 60-day IL.
KellyHOST
Carter Baumler, Jose Corneal, and Jack Leiter are also out.
KellyHOST
Who is actually showing up tonight?
Roy SmalleyHOST
And my reasons are this.
Roy SmalleyHOST
They pitched pretty well for having lost... from a starting staff for having lost Pablo Lopez and Mick Abel.
Roy SmalleyHOST
And I think we're still looking at what could this...
Roy SmalleyHOST
How good could this starting rotation be if Pablo comes back as normal Pablo, they keep Joe Ryan...
Roy SmalleyHOST
Mick Abel gets healthy, and they have Taj Bradley doing what he's done.
Roy SmalleyHOST
And that's, as Lavelle's pointed out a lot, and I concur, that's real stuff.
Roy SmalleyHOST
That Taj Bradley stuff is real.
LaVelle E. Neal IIIHOST
This year was huge for him, and you see the nasty stuff he has.
Roy SmalleyGUEST

LaVelle E. Neal IIIGUEST
This year was huge for him, and you see the nasty stuff he has.
PaulHOST
JT Brubaker is on the 15-day IL.
PaulHOST
And then you have the long-term guys, Matt Gage, Paul Paredes, Mick Abel, all on the 60-day IL.
AmandaHOST
That is a lot of bodies out.
AmandaHOST
And it's not just the pitchers.
KellyHOST
That's eight arms.
KellyHOST
With JT Brubaker, Matt Gage, Gary Paredes, Mick Abel, Kealan Culpepper, Trevor Larnach, Bo Davidson, and Osleivis Basabe all on the IL, you can't afford to burn out your best guys early.
GaryHOST
Exactly.
GaryHOST
Taylor Rogers making a rare start earlier in the week was a signal of how thin things are.
Corey ProvusGUEST
But Joe Ryan, he starts off seasons incredibly well.
Corey ProvusGUEST
With Joe Ryan, Pablo Lopez back, Taj Bradley, you get Mick Abel back.
Corey ProvusGUEST
Love what I saw from Connor Prelip.
Corey ProvusGUEST
That's a rotation that I can't contend in the American League Central.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
You need to lock up a guy who I'm not going to say is the ace of your staff because you still have Pablo Lopez, you still have Joe Ryan under contract for next year, but if you're talking about upward trajectory, Taj Bradley is the guy that you need to make sure that you take care of.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
You have Mick Abel, who is going to be under contract for a while.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
I really like Mick Abel, and I think that you can have a one-two punch with Bradley and Abel at the top of your rotation going forward because there is 2027 where you have this depth of Pablo Lopez and Joe Ryan and Bradley and Abel and Prelip and Matthews and Kramer and Ryan Gallagher and AAA and take your pick of a couple other guys that can run through the system.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
But I think overall, when you look at 2028, 2029, all of that stuff is really when you start to go, OK, we need to make sure we have Taj Bradley for the long haul.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
Because remember, he's had some already MLB service time logged in the books.
GaryHOST
Then you have Zebby Matthews and Connor Prelip.
GaryHOST
With JT Brubaker on the 15-day IL and Mick Abel, Matt Gage, and Gary Paredes all on the 60-day IL, every start matters more than usual.
KellyHOST
Right.
KellyHOST
And Tosh Bradley is on the roster too.
Dan ThompsonHOST
I'm going to argue there's two that we maybe missed on here.
Dan ThompsonHOST
I had Mick Abel, which...
Dan ThompsonHOST
That might not look as crazy once we see him pitch next season.
Dan ThompsonHOST
Well, because he was just coming off like a really good start against the Tigers.
KellyHOST
We mentioned nine players on the IL.
KellyHOST
That includes Willie Adams, Byron Buxton, Trevor Larnik, Kalen Culpepper, Nate Furman, Mick Abel, Matt Gage, Gary Paredes, and Aslaibis Basabi.
KellyHOST
That's a lot of bodies missing.
GaryHOST
It is a lot, but this is where depth matters.
