Yeah, I’m afraid @YTF has bingo here. Our ‘program’ has led to not drafting pitching high, not developing starting pitching successfully, and not making big FA investments (since Sale).Seems like that’s the price of doing business these days and I think you need to play ball at that number if you really think he’s a top of the rotation starter. Obviously we don’t really know how the FO views him but if they think he’s that guy and they want him, then I don’t see much of an option.
All of these are theoretically understandable in isolation, but together it looks like the FO may have picked the wrong year to decide to win.
C’mom Breslow show me sumthin’ ! Dump the prospects if you have to, we can always find someone half decent at any position…except SP.
