Like 6-7 things have to go right for Pivetta to be the teams 7-8th best starter. If that happens, the team will be fantastic and they can worry about what to do with Nick then. Having too many ok starters is rarely a problem. With Chang on board, it seems like the roster is pretty much set anyways; hard to picture what they’d even move him for and who would be interested.
Sure...
1) Sale not rebreaking himself.
2) Bello not breaking himself.
3) Whitlock not breaking himself.
4) Kluber not breaking himself.
5) Paxton not rebreaking himself.
6) Houck not breaking himself.
7) Crawford not mildly regressing or breaking himself.
But he could be our 12th best starter if...
8) Mata continues to improve.
9) Walter shows that he can put it together at a higher level.
10) Murphy shows that he can put it together at a higher level.
11) Winckowski improves in his age 25 season.
But, I'm officially done talking about it. I hope he gets better at pitching, & if he doesn't, I hope they don't waste a rotation spot on him or have multiple injuries to the better pitchers.
