Arrow End of August Update / Sept Callups!!!

Couple new adds to the 40 man roster:

Rogelio Armenteros - Came from Astros with Yuli Gurriel and Cionel Perez in our trade of Nick Castellanos. Made 12 starts in Tuledo with decent results. Overall this year he had a 3.89 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, good homerun suppression and doesn't walk too many guys (2.8 BB/9). He's had over 300 innings in AAA, time to see how he does in MLB. I am going to try and get him a few starts in September. Matt Hall has been moved to the bullpen and Cionel Perez is taking his spot in the rotation for September.

Jhon Romero - Came from Nationals in our trade for Shane Greene. He only knows two pitches (65/70 Fastball and 70/75 Slider). Probably could have left him in AAA until next year. But I want to see what he can do in MLB.

Willi Castro - 22 year old switch hitting 2B (maybe backup IF type as he could probably man SS/3B in a pinch). He has hit at every level so far. In about 600 plate appearances at AAA this year he put up a .317/.362/.478/.841 for a 130 OPS+. Right now he might be our starting 2B in 2020, if we move Biggio to 3B. At worst, he is our backup IF.

Ronny Rodriguez - Was on the 40 man all season, but he looks like a "AAAA" kind of player. In 259 plate appearances in AAA he put up a .324/.331/.492/.823 for a 124 OPS+. He still has 2 option years left, but he will be 28 next year.
