So usually every season you have that rookie that comes of nowhere and surprises. Bailey was middling, fringe top 15-20 prospect in a deep A's system, who got blasted in AA as a SP. Got demoted to the bullpen and everything clicked. As a reliever, he dominated the rest of the season in AA, AFL/spring training. Yet he was still buried in the depth chart as a 24/25 yr old pitching prospect almost headed to AAA. Injuries to joey devine and other pitchers got him a spot as a long reliever. Fast forward to now, he's  been in every situation needed, so far among AL relievers in Ks/IP and is talked about as a future closer. Not saying he'llbe like him, but i see a bit of papelbon a mid 90s fb, high 80s cutter, and a solid curve/slider w/ that bulldog mentality goes right at hitters. I'd be interested in a Sickles write up on him,  his future role (maybe a return to SP or not)
