Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Many ways to form a rotation for a contending team. 'stros traded prospects for Verlander and Cole, right? Jays should continue down the path of a strong player development approach. When the time is right, with a solid lineup and one or two solid or even front end starters, the deep farm system will still have assets available to trade for pitching. Or tap into FA.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 What's so funny. I might be a bit optimistic on Borucki, mostly because of his uptick in velocity in spring training, maybe a 3 or 4 might be more realistic. We have a stable of guys who's upside is a 4 or a 5....you need a handful of guys who the upside of 2 to get 1 to pan out. Our pitching depth in the minors sucks. Pearson's the only real high upside guy. We're going to have to trade or sign guys via free agency if we have any shot of competing with Vlad on our team. Upside and what you believe to be probable outcomes are not the same thing.
