Biagini should get stretched out in the off season. He has the pitch mix to be used in that type of role. I actually think he could be really good as a starter. With his Sinker, guys are continually pounding it right into the turf and sometimes the ball takes too long to get to the fielder, with a few mph off that, guys are probably going to put more wood on it and it will roll over to the fielders easier. There were a few times that I thought he had really unfortunate luck early in the season with the amount of infield singles he had against him.
Worst case scenario one of Liranio, Stroman, Estrada, Happ or Sanchez get hurt and he takes the 5th, spot. Best case is he goes back in the bullpen as your long reliever out of the pen and used in higher leverage situations.
