Everyone go look up how well Happ pitched for Pittsburgh before you judge anything. Pittsburgh fixes guys. He was incredible. Maybe he figured some stuff out.
Wow. Wasn't expecting this. Rote is kinda underwhelming but we also still have plenty of ammo left and the assets are liquid, so really just a strategical thing, it's not like we can't still go all in if we somehow got Carrasco and then we could move Dickey or something.
I'll be thrilled if the rotation ends up as these guys plus several legitimate depth pieces, though.
^This. BB literally everything you're saying is pure speculation, hand waving, and appeal to authority. Masai's results are, well, mediocre. If we had insight to his process we'd evaluate that, but we don't.
