McMillan might be a surprise guy they want to try as a starter. I think Furtado does get a crack at being a starter though cause his best stretch of pitching was on the Cape(surprise, surprise for a Pirates draft pick) as a starter.

If you’ve seen Drake Fellows pitch then you’ve seen McMillan too. McMillan is pretty much a Drake Fellows clone. Big, durable, SEC starter(although Vandy is SEC East and Bama is SEC West) that throws strikes, a below average FB(89-91, t93) and a plus SL. I guess McMillian has a better CH(or he uses it more often) but it still doesn’t have a ton of action on it. And if I remember correctly, McMillan was a JUCO transfer and Fellows was well regarded as a Prep and started right away at Vandy.

BA just tapped Kurtis as one of their 2024 breakout arms:

" In the Spring Breakout, Curtis sat mid-90s on his fastball and was up to 97-98 mph at peak across the pair of outings. He mixed in a harder curveball, a cutter and changeup and kept hitters off balance. There’s still some things to clean up mechanically and his strike-throwing can improve, but Curtis is a day three draft arm with increasing helium."

It looks like Reed is today's starter.

RE Forrester, they have a history of loving guys who are 3B but can’t handle the position and don’t hit well enough to play 1B: Colin Moran, Matt Hague, Will Craig, etc.
