2018 Starting Rotation Mega Thread

[mvp 78]

The goal is to trade the minor leaguers that you don't need or at least the ones that won't work out. Sell high. Keep the good ones. So far, DD has made some good decisions. The only questionable trade is Shaw for Thornburg, but nobody on here worried about the trade at the time.

Yeah, that says a lot, doesn't it.

 

Yes, we had weak young pitching prospects that were ML ready, but we did have Espinoza, Kopech, Johnson and Allen along with future flame-outs like Owens.

The jury is still out, to some extent, since the prospects we traded might turn out to be "the wrong ones", but clearly Sale, Kimbrel and Pom have met or exceeded expectations.
