He needs to learn how to throw strikes. If he doesn’t do that when his FA year is wont matter

Rich Hill couldn’t throw strikes for a long period of time until he figured it out. Snell is talented hope he turns it out Bc Rays will need him in the future.
ReverieDays
Rich Hill also only pitches like 15 games a year.

I don’t think them optioning him a few days before he hits a full season of service time is insignificant or a coincidence. Not that they are certain or even likely to keep him down the rest of the year, but service time almost certainly was and will be a factor in how they use him.

Clearly you haven’t watched him pitch this year. It’s not service time, he can’t throw strikes or go more than 5 innings. He had five full counts on six batters in one inning today. He is always great for two or three innings and then falls apart. Maybe he is destined for the bullpen, the Rays need major help there anyways.

Jacob Faria should get the 5th spot. He’s been dynamite in AAA.

Brent Honeywell would be a solid choice also. Maybe want to give him half a season or more in AAA.
SuperSinker
Faria has significantly more upper level experience and has performed superlatively so far in AAA. He, Honeywell and De Leon should all be getting time in the big leagues this year imo. Cobb/Odorizzi should be getting shopped hard.

Agreed… Cobb and Odorizzi got to be on the block. Honeywell is looking like a stud in the making.
fljay73
Odorizzi shopped this year? For a big haul? Sure. If not you have 3 seasons of club control left. He looks to be another top 2 pitcher. Those aren’t “cheap” to acquire.
Cobb- wait till near the end of the deadline.
Get the biggest bang

Good idea. Bucs should do the same with Glasnow.

Maybe we could trade Glasnow for Snell? 🙂
Snell is actually doing better than TG, so Tampa Bay probably won’t go for it. 😉
