Pretty good insight here on his pitching thoughts and gives us a glimpse of possible roles:
Burns could be a starter but says his stuff ticks up a notch when on short(er) assignments, so look for Burns to come out of the pen. Whether that’s as a stopper or closer or both remains to be seen.
Said Bing was uncharacteristic in his start, says they know he is better, look for him to get more chances and correct, says he throws more strikes than anyone on the staff and Bing is important to allow volantis from getting overworked. Essentially wants to bring volantis along methodically. Volantis could end up a starter some where down the line into the season.
Said Tuesday games for the time being they need to look at the rest of the staff that didn’t get to throw this weekend, I.e. Mcreery, Navarre, Flores, and Hamilton mentioned specifically. Said they can’t evaluate them without getting them in the games so look for more faces on the mound. I like it, I want to see all these guys pitch.
On the Houston game or Tuesday games in general, he approaches them no differently than the weekend games.
