What are our viable options for middle relief, and who do yall think will step up?

This was the only negative (if you can call it that) coming out of the weekend so I figured we should discuss it.

Whats Bradshaw been up to?

Eades and Rumbelow are two that come to mind but they need to be consistent. Hopefully Garrett can come back from the injury, we could really use another lefty.

Has anyone heard if Hopkins is definitely out all year or is he a possibility to return later?

Eades may slot in there. Jones as well once SEC play gets thick. Cotton was good until Friday. Peterson does well when he's out there, I think.

When healthy, middle relief is going to be Eades and hopefully Forrest Garrett. There is also Chris Cotton and Samuel Peterson.

The leadoff single was well hit, but after that his defense let him down and there was some bad baseball fortune. I think Cotton is gonna give us some good innings this season.

As the only lefty currently available, it is important for Cotton to be consistent. And he should be. I don't know Garrett's timetable for return, but I imagine when he can come back, he will be worked into mid-week games with a quickness to get him ready for late season SEC and post season games.

Peterson has done well, but doesn't really face many batters. Him and Berry will be valuable as those guys that can come in and end an inning. They can throw multiple times a week and be really effective.

Dyktstra is really helping out and should continue to do so. I would really like to see Broussard, Cunningham, Eades, and Rumbleow throw mid-week this week. The first two to see more of what they have, the second two to help them get the kinks out.

eta: And the OP needs to edit the post title to get this thread un-stickied.

Eades? He gets his brains beat in every time he comes in. Am I wrong?

I thought Berry had good outings on Friday and Saturday. Seems like he's a guy that will come in and get us out a jam.

Berry has been great. Dykstra has had only one iffy outing. Rumbelow and Eades aren't quite there but have shown potential. right now I'd say Berry should be the setup guy in the eighth for sure.
