We got rid of all 3 of Melky, Colby and Gose and acquired Saunders to be our every LF and presumed Pompey was ready to take over every day, with Pillar as our only real backup. Not a good depth position we had there...
Plus Hutch is no guarantee either. I like him a lot but he has been up and dowb since his TJS. Dickey and Buerhle are as close to sure things as it gets but they're mid rotation caliber. I wish they'd added a 1/2 caliber starter either of the last two off seasons. We need multiple guys among Stroman Hutch Estrada to be good in order to have any chance.
Without really knowing, I find it hard to imagine that you can nearly as much info from hockey stats as you can from baseball. Especially as it currently stands.
This story is getting picked up on US networks
Was being discussed on Sirius XM this morning
Will be interesting if Ripken Jr becomes obliged to comment
