Sean Sullivan

then like Iverson Castellano that they brought him in on a minor league deal.

season and he was used mostly kind of as a bulk reliever but he could be a guy that you turn into a starter or you know Sean Sullivan really struggled at the big league level but no was finding his rhythm here and there, you know, inconsistently with Albuquerque and he's making the final start of the year down in Albuquerque.

And who knows, maybe we see him pop up by the end of the week, but just good to see them overall.

But Evan, I think the big story with Albuquerque was just Charlie Condon and like Zach Veen, the offensive output from a lot of those guys that had some really, really good years.

And the Rockies will be sending eight players to the Arizona Fall League this year.

And Here is that list.

Jared Thomas, Jack O'Dowd, Andy Perez as the position players, and then pitchers Connor Eaton, Sean Sullivan, Stu Flesslin III, Hunter Mann, and Fidel Ulloa.

We are also sending two pitching coaches, Jerry Sullivan and Owen Cuffey.

The last team to talk about here is the Colorado Rockies, part of the Salt River roster there at the AFL.

They've got outfielder Jared Thomas, infielder Andy Perez, left-hander Connor Eaton, left-hander Sean Sullivan, right-hander Hunter Mann, catcher Jack O'Dowd, and left-hander Stu Fleasland.

It's a pretty well-rounded guy.

There's four guys, I think, ranked in their prospect list and a number of guys that are pretty named pedigree in terms like Jared Thomas, Sean Sullivan, and some others.

Yeah, I mean, Thomas is probably the most highly regarded prospect going out there.

Had a good 2025 in that first full pro season.

I know on the surface, the numbers weren't great, but I think the underlying data looks like he could be like a solid infield utility type and, you know, looks decently shorthanded at shortstop and then could play solid defense around.

Like that's the classic utility type of guy that you send out there.

it, the, the Arizona Fall League will be happening because it's not, it's considered a minor league system.

So, you've got Connor Eaton, um, Stu Flesland III, Hunter Man, Sean Sullivan.

I forgot about that guy.

Yeah, man.

He did.

Jared Thomas is the guy that, like Dingers Berner says, he's the guy to look out for, not that those, uh, you know...

Sean Sullivan going from starting, what, three or four games in a row in his rotation for the Rockies this year, down to the Arizona Fall League, quite interesting.

Yep.

So pitch count management is huge here.

If he goes deep, do we have anyone in the rotation ready to step in? Because Kyle Freeland is on the 15-day IL and Sean Sullivan is also out.

Exactly.

Ryan Feltner and Gabriel Hughes are the other options, but they’ve been used sparingly.

Absolutely.

With Freeland, Sean Sullivan, and Jose Quintana all on the IL, the rotation is thin.

Every start matters for evaluating long-term pieces.

Sagano isn't just pitching for tonight.

The bullpen is already taxed.

With Sean Sullivan and Jose Quintana on the 60-day IL, the relief options are thin.

And we know how Coors Field affects pitching, but this is Detroit.

Comerica Park is pitcher-friendly, sure.
