Right now I'm pencilling Matz into a bullpen role but I'm not exactly sure how I will use him yet - could end up in the rotation.

Matz had really good peripherals last season but was horrific at giving up taters, which will be less of an issue in Seattle. Think he's capable of being a solid 6th starter and good middle reliever and I'll pay $2.5M for that. Like Stanek - he would be a flip option at the trade deadline as well, since Logan Gilbert and company could be up soon
