As tempting as it is to simply respond with the rabies headline clip from Vicar of Dibley (my wife's an Anglophile so these are my points of reference), I guess it isn't entirely outside the realm of possibility. I think it would, however, require a specific set of circumstances. First, there would have to be several long term injuries. I can't see them adding him to the 40-man for a spot start or two. Second, he would have to be strong enough this spring to be clearly ahead of all of the options who are on the 40-man. It isn't impossible, but I'd have a tough time going over 5% for the chance and definitely wouldn't go into double digits.

I appreciate your feedback!  However, with the recent developments to Aaron Ashby's injury situation and Jason Alexander going down.  We could see Gasser as a realistic option.

Realistically the simplest path to Gasser to make the roster is for one more long term injury to one of the top five and then Gasser being so lights out this spring that he not only clearly separates himself from Junk … and Small … and Wilson … and Miller, but Houser as well. That is a tall ask from someone with minimal AAA time in an organization not known for rushing pitching prospects into the rotation.
