The Building of a Bullpen
The revolving door that has become the Aeros bullpen spun some more over the past week as the Aeros added right-hander T.J. Burton to the mix from Class-A Kinston.
Burton joins recent newcomers in left-hander Rich Rundles from Extended Spring Training and right-hander Randy Newsom from Kinston - both, as luck would have it, are sidearmers.
"You have a bunch of guys out there now who are bullpen guys, and have been,'' Aeros manager Tim Bogar said. "I like the way our bullpen sets up now. I like having Newsom and Rundles like that and (Reid) Santos closing the game.''
Bogar was referring to the Aeros starting the season with a handful of pitchers in the bullpen who were really starters like Joe Ness (who's now in the starting rotation) and Jake Dittler (since promoted to Triple-A Buffalo).
On Monday, right-hander Nick Pesco joined the group from Triple-A Buffalo, giving Bogar even more options late in the game.
Newsom earned his first save Tuesday night in the Aeros 5-3 win - a sight Aeros fans ought to get used to, especially with Santos struggling as of late.
