Don't like this deal at all but I guess the fallback option is that if he stinks in the rotation maybe he can become a decent pen piece. He's had some prior success there. Certainly don't like the idea of penciling him into the rotation right now....nothing he's done warrants being handed a spot without a competition with guys during spring

So I guess we're here now with seeing if he can perhaps help provide stability in the pen in a middle relief role or something

Kinda?

Thor >>>> Lorenzen

Thor only needs to solve the 1st inning issue.

Minasian is a tool if he doesn't do something about Lorenzen/Wade. He had no problem pulling quick triggers for people he didn't sign (Pujols/Upton/Maddon).

“Quick triggers?”  There is no one on AngelsWin who believes Albert or Upton or hell even Maddon got taken out too quickly.

Put him in bullpen where he belongs

He had a rough game, it happens, I like the cut of his job. He's a grinder, passionate about being succesful, the kinda guy you wanna give the ball to every 5 games.
