Angel Bastardo and Spencer Miles, both Rule 5 picks, face challenges in securing a spot on the Toronto Blue Jays' Opening Day roster. Bastardo has a 4.70 ERA and a high walk rate, while Miles has a 4.15 ERA with a respectable strikeout rate but also a concerning walk rate. Despite their potential, neither pitcher has distinguished themselves during Spring Training. The Blue Jays' roster is competitive, making it difficult for either player to earn a full-time position.
"Bastardo has a 4.70 ERA and 5.10 FIP in 7.2 innings pitched, with a higher BB% (21.2%) than K% (15.2%), which is concerning for a pitcher."
"Miles has a 4.15 ERA and 6.20 FIP over eight and two-thirds innings pitched, with an 11.6 BB% and a respectable 25.6 K%."
"Bastardo features a plus changeup and fastball that runs up into the upper 90s, while Miles has a plus fastball that sits in the mid-90s."
"Neither player stood out this Spring Training, and with many veterans competing for limited spots, it's hard to see either making the roster."
