There are those increasingly unique situations where a Clay Holmes arrives off of a successful stint as a reliever only to look plenty capable as a starting pitcher.
With him out of the picture, rather than give Senga added leash to start games they’ve gone in reverse and will see if maybe he fits better as a starting pitcher.
At only 3-5 with a 5.24 ERA, Tong failed to join the immediate conversation as a guy who deserved big league innings.
Mixed results in the majors when he was with the big league club, one big league number stands out as a reason to start contemplating the change in Tong’s role.
Lost at the moment with fellow prospects Jack Wenninger and Jonathan Santucci with him in Syracuse, it’s way too early to give up on the pitcher Tong can be.
