Derek Law's recent stint on the injured list has opened up a fascinating opportunity for the Washington Nationals' bullpen. With a few promising arms vying for a spot, the question arises: who will step up and claim that coveted position?
Jackson Rutledge has shown resilience after a shaky start to spring training, now boasting a respectable 3.24 ERA. Meanwhile, Orlando Ribalta and Eduardo Salazar are also in the mix, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. But what does this mean for the overall depth of the bullpen?
Let’s dive into the debate:
- Who do you think has the best chance of securing a spot in the bullpen while Law is out?
- Are we confident in the current options, or should the Nats look to make a trade or sign a free agent to bolster the bullpen?
- How do you feel about the potential impact of this injury on the team's performance early in the season?
Additionally, with the possibility of sending Rutledge back down when Law returns, how do you think this will affect his development? Is it better for him to get major league experience, even if it’s brief, or should he continue to hone his skills in the minors?
Let’s hear your thoughts! What are your bold predictions for the Nationals' bullpen this season?
