Guess that means they plan on him being a semi-permanent jersey seller too. Maybe the pitching staff is seeing something else there that could be developed, not so sure myself.
That being said, Griff Mcgarry kinda fell apart as a prospect, IMO. Mick Abel started and lost his first triple A game, which kept the Ironpigs out of the Triple A championship. Andrew Painter is IR/disabled until 2025 as per tommy johns surgery. An love Jose Alvarado, but when he gets spooked/nervous, he starts to lose control and throwing balls.
This is a long winded way of saying, might not be who we want, but who we need.
The Ryan Howard experience, pitcher version.
