Loved jeanmar Gomez a few years ago as the swingman/long relief/spot starter for the Bucs but never would have thought he’d ever be closing. Have to imagine the Phillies bullpen can’t get worse

They’ve blown back-to-back leads late in the first two games, and collectively given up 4 more today. Its bad

I hope John Gant is not the one who gets the demotion after Chacin gets the call-up!!
The Braves would be well served to work Gant in the pen this year, let him get acclimated to big league hitters, and then open up 2017 with him in the starting rotation.
Now with that being said, however, they could also move Gant into the rotation, at some point this season, once Norris or Chacin get traded or released. Either way, service time be darned, he deserves to be on the 25 man squad!!
John Gant has been an excellent suprise since coming over in the deal with the Mets, along with Rob Whalen, that sent out veterans Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson, who is now back with the Braves..
Gant ended last season on a tear, and he has done nothing but improve since coming over, which also includes an excellent spring training…
If Gant keeps pitching as effectively as he has, then he will most certainly leap frog over his 5 main competitors for a rotation spot… (Williams Perez, Jhoulys Chacin, Ryan Weber, Aaron Blair, and Tyrell Jenkins)..And honestly, by the looks of it, he has already surpassed Ryan Weber, Aaron Blair, and Tyrell Jenkins
I can’t wait to see what the 2016 season holds for Gant, because his future is very bright and his future is NOW!!
