Yes, I know it’s not even January yet but as assembled we know that pitching staff is going to be our Achilles heel this year.
Feels like Shatkins is punting this season and I really don’t think it was necessary. There have been opportunities to pick up pieces that would not have been in contradiction with the long term plans. A couple arms and a couple of breaks and we could surprise some teams.
As it looks now Vlad is coming in, with Bo and Cavan shortly behind, onto a team that will struggle heavily against the heavyweights. They will lose, sometimes bigly, and that’s likely not something they’ve ever encountered.
