Dutton’s stuff is just so flat. I don’t think he will pitch in high leverage spots unless a few guys get hurt. He’ll be a innings eater when starters get bounced early or games that get out of hand in later innings in either direction

Dutton and Hellmers will be the punt team. They've both had some success, so I'm sure Jay will keep giving them looks for other roles. But, we have so many really good arms. Bucknam probably falls into this same category.

They serve a purpose. And, we've seen times where the punt team came in, held serve, and the game took a turn in the right direction.

And, I'm not saying these guys are bad. Dutton was a weekend starter at one time. Hellmers has changed his mound location and is creating a really tough angle for hitters once he gets more used to - he was a weekday starter at one time. And, Bucknam was a nice recruit and has had some nice outings coming into the season.

ETA: Good news is their RH, so they're in the minority. This is their way in. I'm ready to see Noot.

One would think this is the case, but Jay is fired up about Dutton right now. He brought him in in the 8th inning with the tying run on base in game 1.

Dutton got the save in a 2-0 game in game 2. Then in game 4 with a one tun lead in the 9th, Dutton was warming in the pen if Fidel got into any trouble.
