Low-Leverage / Depth Arm

Fan-facing translation of the archived read.

Archive Outlook

The current bullpen/rotation path looks more depth-oriented than impact-oriented right now.

Bat-missing quality

The bullpen lane needs more than role usage. The stuff still has to miss bats consistently.

Older AAA bar

Being older for the level raises the bar. This has to look like real big-league quality, not just a good upper-minors line.

Summary

This still reads like a real prospect-style relief case, but the reliever path should be treated more cautiously than a hitter or starter baseline. The current read leans toward `Useful Reliever`, with `Moderate Ceiling` better treated as a research-stage upper outcome than a firm forecast.
