St. Paul Saints Pitching Staff

[stringer bell]

Going off the projection made in a thread on the Front Page News, I'm trying to put together the projected pitching staff for the Saints in 2024. We all know the major league team will need reinforcements throughout the season, and with the depth the Twins have put together (particularly in the bullpen), it looks to me like the Saints might have quite the powerhouse pitching staff.

Starters--Simeon Woods Richardson*, David Festa, Randy Dobnak, Brent Headrick*, Caleb Boushley, Matt Canterino*. Bullpen--Ronnie Henriquez, Michael Boyle, AJ Alexy, Ryan Jensen, Hobie Harris, Matt Bowman, Jared Solomon, Jordan Balazovic, Daniel Duarte, Jeff Brigham, Jorge Alcalá*, Kody Funderburk*, Cole Sands*, Josh Winder*, and Zack Weiss*.

That is 21 pitchers. I don't know how many of the newly signed guys have opt-outs, and there will be injuries, but without adding any more guys who were in the system last year below St. Paul, that's a lot of arms. I marked an asterisk next to pitchers who are on the 40-man roster. Did I miss anyone? Who is the pick to click from this group?

I think there was a starter in AA who could make the AAA staff too.  Ort Pierson or is it Pierson Ort or something like that.

Pierson Ohl, but yeah, it'll be interesting to see where he starts the season.
