One or both of right handed starters Pill and Verrett could end up in pen roles in the next couple years as well if they don't end up trade fodder.
Yep, though neither of those guys is doing anything at the major league level before 2014.
I like Verett somewhat better than Pill as a solid relief piece because he seems to have truer high level strikeout stuff.
I dunno, Verrett's scouting report sounds pretty underwhelming from Toby. I've never been a huge Pill believer but check his K-rate over recent starts. Last 5 starts 30 innings 28 k's, I'm not 100% convinced Pill can't be a Gee-caliber pitcher. If the question is who profiles better in the pen? Not sure, but I'm not sure Verrett and Pill have much of a gap between them. Less than I expected at least.
