I don't think Bickford was DFA'd only because of his two bad major league outings. We have coaches that see these guys every day in the minors. The Brewers had multiple seasons of watching the guy and they knew or they thought they knew what they had in the guy and whether he was worth a spot on the 40 man. I think the fact that they actually didn't have much time watching him is what lead to him being released. He pitched a total of 2 innings above high A for the Brewers. Injuries, his weed suspension and COVID are the reasons he never got to show what he had with the Brewers. The fact we lost this guy so we could call up Zack Godley really sucks but you can't win 'em all. Well part of that is due to Covid last year and pitching in simulated games at Appleton as that kind of took the place of the minors last year. But good point, they never really did get a look at him facing AAA or AA hitters and that probably led to a poor evaluation.
