I could see Herz go. He hit 95 innings last year, is at 88 this year. He'll get a few more but nothing that would make pitching in the AFL a concern though.
Crews and Morales I think will be done. First taste of pro ball, topping 100 games, crossing 3/4 levels. They have had a pretty full year. I would say Pinckney fits that bill too, but he is almost 23. I could see pushing him a bit more just to see how he handles things.
The one I want to see is Jake Bennett. The way he was going, he was pushing for a shot in the rotation next year. He needs to get rhe missed innings in, even if just to continue the development and not have a major need for am innings limit next year.
I could see some combination of guys like Wood, Hassell, House, Lipscomb go. Hassell didn't really get a shot last year because of the injury. I wouldve thought Wood was a prime candidate but maybe they want to work on him in instructs and cages instead of more game work. Lipscomb just to see if he keeps hitting. He'll be 24 next year, might as well push him. House has sat quite regularly this year I've noticed. Whether thats be design because of the injury last year or what, but hes played 40 games than Wood this year, without a DL stay. I could see getting him more AB's. Maybe they challenge DeLaRosa to see if he can regain some momentum after struggles in Wilmington.
I think we need to send 4 pitchers so it'll be interesting to see who they send there.
