Those 4 will HOPEFULLY be better than Odo. Unfortunately starting rotations need more than the 4 starters you named above. As stated above, we need 8+, especially if the top 4 have not pitched more than 200 mlb innings....combined
When has he ever been even close to our 9th. 8th, or even 7th best offensive player? What stats or metrics are you using to grade him this low? I'm guessing if his career numbers put him as our 8th best batter we would have one heck of a lineup.
Very well stated. "PO'd sums up my feelings as well. I don't understand not beating the offer from Stroman and or Ray. Other than Rodon....who is left? Bundy should be a flyer pick up, nothing more than a number 3. Where the heck are we going to get our top starters from? Very frustrating is right.
I honestly believe our best options for relievers is to develop them in house. I'd rather trade for, or pay for top end starters. But so many good closers/relievers are converted or non successful starters. We have witnessed this from our own team in the past few years. Maybe a couple of our minor league starters whom can not handle a full seasons workload could become high end relievers soon.
In what world is a slash line of 206/294/413....14% above average? Wow, if that line is 14% above average, what the heck would below average look like.
He will get 20 mil plus for at least 5 years on open market. With guys on here wanting to give him a 45 mil contract, It would be better to just say you don't want him...and that's ok. But 45 million? C'mon.
