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.
-
Wong's CERA with Crawford? YUCK!
-
Not sure how they’ll split it, but 60/40 sounds about right.
-
Yes, also not a very good pitcher though.
-
I’m down in God’s Country and could see it on MLB.tv. Unfortunately, Youk and DO couldn’t see it from the pressbox. Sad!

@jcmccaffrey Adam Duvall won AL player of the week, his first player of the week award in his 10-year career. In three games, he hit three doubles, a triple, two homers, had eight RBI and six runs scored.

The starters were 18th in fWAR in 2022. They were not a good rotation. The plan was bad. It relied on older, injury prone guys. We'll see how the rotation holds up for 2023. At some point, I don't think you can keep making excuses about the budget for Bloom. He has had a few years to clear out the old contracts. The only real weight on there now is Sale. The rest of the contracts are all on Bloom. If he can't create a competent rotation because of one bad contract, he needs to go.
