Trade deadline depending of course, but I wouldn't mind having Chourio sit a couple days and let Lockridge have a couple starts. Just let the kid do some cage work and live bullpens to start seeing it.
That makes me wonder if the Crew has a better strength and conditioning program for developing the strength and flexibility needed to shove down the mound a little further.
It also makes me wonder how much choice these athletes have in their own offseason/preseason training programs.
When he was down here in Gwinnett, Shewmake reminded me a little bit of Mauricio Dubon. Always usefulish, but not quite there.
Dubon finally broke through and put up a 1.8 WAR season when he was 28. Already has 2WAR this year as a 31 year old.
