    Yep. If you have 3 Morrows in the rotation you probably need 5 backups. If you have 3 Buehles in the rotation you can probably get by with 3 backups. (Gross numbers grossly guestimated)

    Touche That's the GM's dilemma. and why guys like JJ and Anderson are living year to year rather than longer extensions. You want a guy with high end potential. You just don't want to give injury prone guys 4-5 years at a time.

    At risk of egging moogy in to a long useless discussion... The term ace is not really defined obviously. Being what people would consider an "ace" is more about ability than durability. Way more. Sure, you want good pitchers to log more innings. Obviously. An ace caliber starting pitcher who is also dependable is the most valued commodity in all of baseball because those guys (Felix, Kershaw, Verlander) are so rare and hence they get the mega bucks. Deservedly. The question for a GM can become what do you want in your rotation - an ace quality starter like Strasburg who has been breaking down a lot - who should pitch really well when there but might give you 80IP or 180IP. Or do you want a reliable mid rotation starter who's a workhorse who never misses time. Both ace talent and dependability have value. You might not want 5 Strasburgs in the rotation if the backups are all terrible. And no one can afford 5 Kershaws. So you mix and match and you need depth, more so if you have fragile guys like Morrow.

    Holy semantics batman

    Braves, Phillies have had such rotations at different times Nice luxury to have
  6. G-Snarls
    Agree Ervin Santana and Mark Buerhle always log 200+ innings. doesn't make them the least bit more ace like.
  7. G-Snarls
    It all sounds great on paper...
  8. G-Snarls
    Exactly. He's only the number "5" starter for schedule purposes. This does not mean they think he's the 5th best starter on the team. (Though I worry he could turn out be despite previously being a big Morrow fan)

    Noah Syndergaard reassigned to minor league camp June callup felt possible among writers

    AA knows bullpens (Or got lucky. You decide)

    Miguel Cabrera is licking his chops...

    MLB.com: Up next: Left-hander Ricky Romero will get the start when the Blue Jays visit the Tigers on Tuesday at 1:05 p.m. ET in Lakeland, Fla., available live on an exclusive webcast. Romero is a long shot to make the rotation, but he could theoretically enter the mix with a strong outing against Detroit. This will be Romero's first start of the spring and his first real opportunity to face an opposing team's best hitters. Right-hander Marcus Stroman also is scheduled to pitch

    Yep. Buck is being silly here. The Lott article is actually a decent read.

    Yet still wins the debate: Dr_Dinger Posts:18086 Nibbles too much = Ks Tulo and Cargo three times each in the same game Nibble away. He's going to K 200+, probably have an ERA around 3 with a solid K/BB and 15+ wins.
  19. G-Snarls
    Makes it easier. Can blame fans for making poor choices. LOL
  20. G-Snarls
    LOL.so true Romero represents the A's in the all star game then gets traded for a top 10 prospect just before he has another meltdown. While the Jays are paying a chunk of his salary to boot. LOL

    Wow. ouch.
  25. G-Snarls
    If only the A's had a dumber GM we could pawn one of our fringe starters on them.
