Are relief Pitchers predetermined at all or is it all by chance?

Whether he's juicing or not, it's EASY to speculate knowing MLB's history w/ it's athletes and PED use (plus masking agents.) His streak right now is raising eyebrows...and for good reason. Going to be crazy seeing a guy who never hit more than 12 HRs in a MLB season end up with a crazy number by the end of the year.

What do you mean? When they enter the game?
RP's are brought in based on batter match-up.

Maybe Thames is on the same drugs that Jose Bautista was supposed to be on.

Or Marlon Byrd.
I think he means if they become starters vs relievers, is it pre-determined for each guy or not. Least, I think that's what he meant.
If that is the case, it's a ton of factors, arm strength, location, how throwing affects their body (can they throw multiple days ok, but can't throw 110+ pitches in one day, etc) Their stuff, if they have a 2nd or 3rd pitch, lots of things like that. If they are a 1-2 pitch guy, odds pretty good you're in the pen so hitters can't see you 3-4 times in a game and know all your stuff by the second at bat. Guys that have 3-4 pitches tend to start. Some guys switch between both, Smoltz, Dempster, hell, even Chapman TRIED to be a starter, but, c'mon.
No one throwin 100+ for a 100+ pitches and comin back 5 days later.

Stamina, variety of pitches, injury history, delivery in that order IMO.
From draft day these team scouts are on top of their game, they'll watch a kid pitch a little and know if they profile or project as a starter or reliever

MLB missed a good oppo to get the Cincy/Brewer game on.
Instead we get KC/CWS.
KC should be on my local channel not blacked out.
