this is a guy who I think will be useful, maybe as soon as this year.  Not a super high rank guy on lists, but a pro.

Roark 2.0 best case

Roark 2.0 best case

depth piece, middle innings and back of the rotation. You need some of that.

There isn't a team in baseball that wouldn't happily take 6 years of Tanner Roark-cost controlled production.

It’s like Bizarro World Patrick Corbin.

Today vs. the Tigers:
2.0 IP 3H 1R 1ER 0BB 2 SO
1.0 WHIP and 1.80 ERA for the spring

I'm thinking he has a decent shot to be promoted to the Nats sometime after the All-Star break if there are a few injuries to our bullpen and he pitches well in AA.

Put Corbin in the bullpen where he belongs. Put Irvin in the rotation.

Put Corbin in the bullpen where he belongs. Put Irvin in the rotation.

Or how about he makes it through AA first and even if he's 26, we don't push him too hard? I'm tired of Corbin as well, but I'd rather just stick Espino in the rotation and put Corbin in the pen instead of rushing Irvin.
