Mostly, in admittedly limited looks, think he’s a real fn weapon with a fastball change/cutterish slider look out of the pen. And that’s a huge need. Gives me the feel of a guy they slow play as a starter without ever getting to more than a backend guy, and my general vibe is to push those dudes in an equally useful pen role when they can.
I'd love to see Antwone Kelley pushed on a reliever pace. 2nd half in AA and big leagues at some point next year.
Is that becasue of the fastball now in the upper 90s, or the frame? Both? Just curious

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Griffin’s numbers is the runs scored total. That’s 150 run pace over a full season.
