Archive Projection

Developmental (Uncertain Role)

Fan-facing translation of the archived read.

Archive Outlook

The early workload still leans starter, but there is not enough live volume yet to treat that as a settled rotation track.

Role Still Unclear

The current workload is still too noisy to separate a true starter lane from a bullpen path with confidence.

Missing-bat test

The profile still needs a firmer bat-missing foundation to move into a stronger rotation lane.

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 looks more like a roster-utility or current-depth case than a standard prospect projection. Average Skill and blocked path still matter descriptively, but the system should talk about present status and narrow utility rather than upside-oriented future outcomes.
