I agree with the general premise. I also agree with Brock. I'll be honest.... If Burrows is on this roster still, over at least three candidates in AAA, I don't like what they are doing at all.
In five years, we still don't have one pitcher, starter or reliever, we are confident in. While there weren't great free agents this year, their inability to trade for or sign guys to longer deals, meant they had to, again, get two new starting pitchers. That's not a sustainable model.
Next year is the year they are out of excuses. If there aren't multiple pitchers up from the system after six years......
Also, their emphasis on bat first, mediocre or worse fielders in the draft? Not a fan at all.
