He spent $18.5M and got 3.3 fWAR or $26.4M in value. WOW! He still didn't acquire a pitcher that had 2 fWAR! He still had a rotation that was 18th in the league and last in their division! He needs to be able to use his budget to build a competitive rotation. To this point, he hasn't been able to. It looks like he lucked into 2021.
-
They were 18th in fWAR. If they are injured throughout the season, it's partially due to roster construction. Not one starter last season had 2 fWAR. You can't build a rotation out of 1.5 fWAR guys. That's not good enough.
-
That doesn't fix what Brasier, Sale and Kluber did in the Orioles series. They would be on the roster if the other 5 pitchers were healthy.

WOOSox game in Buffalo postponed due to bad field conditions. Bison's tarp ripped this weekend. They were gifted a secondary tarp by the Rochester Red Wings, but last night's rainwater leaked through it. Is McCoy available?
-
Bring back the 1985 Cardinals!
-
If the rotation is 30th in the league on Memorial Day, he'll be fired at the BBQ.

HR - 102, 12th (100 is average) 1B - 108, 3rd 2B - 129, 1st 3B - 140, 5th H - 112, 2nd

Yes, they have lots of arms. Aside from Bello, none of them are projected as middle of the rotation starters. Winckowski is a back of the rotation guy at best. Walter is a 4/5 maybe. Mata is most likely a bullpen arm. The best pitching prospects (the ones with the highest ceilings) are far away.
-
Do they even have a Steve Avery?
-
I don't cheer for the owner's checkbook. He's a rich bastard.
-
Betts, Vazquez, Xander, JD, Price, Nate... Any of these guys could have been traded for young pitching.
-
Sure, AS A RELIEF PITCHER...
-
It is HIS budget. He is not doing his job if he can't build an adequate rotation. 2020 - SUCKED 2021 - It was good because they lucked into amazing health. 2022 - Underwhelming. Below average! 2023 - Early returns are horrible.
-
I would take the Twins rotation over the Red Sox rotation any day: Pablo Lopez Sonny Gray Joe Ryan Tyler Mahle Kenta Maeda
-
Also, wasn't Vaz the BAD CERA guy per all of moon's numbers?!?!?
-
Is Vaz catching Sale, Kluber and Crawford too?

Wikelman 2018 IFA (DD) - ETA 2025! Perales 2019 IFA (DD) - ETA 2026! ERC 2021 Draft - ETA 2026! Paez 2021 IFA - ETA 2026! Unless Mata or Walter is going to come up and be lights out, there is no path to fixing the rotation this year outside of the veterans turning it around. Sale - who knows what he can do??? He just hasn't really pitched in forever. Kluber - bad outing and should be able to at least be a mid-rotation guy. Whitlock - hasn't been a fulltime starter in MLB. Bello - showed promise after first few starts last season. Maybe a #2? Paxton - always injured. Can't count on him for even 5 starts this season. Pivetta - fine as a #5. As we all said in the offseason, this rotation has a high ceiling, but a very low floor. Right now, we are seeing the floor.
-
Is it the pitching or the catchers, sir?
-
Is he pitching too?
-
I think it will get better, but the early results are f***ing bad!
-
Who is he currently developing?
-
Aside from Sale, there isn't much left to blame on DD. Maybe the lack of talent in the high minors, but Bloom made enough trades (or should have) to fix that.
-
The budget is Bloom's. If he can't find room for a starting rotation, that's his fault...
-
They sign IFA's. The IFA's are just FAR away. All of the upcoming Bloom SP's are IFA's.
