At the moment, nobody projects to be more than a backend starter ceiling. A lot of relief arms. Bloom seemed to really go for the high floor/low ceiling arms in the draft. Lots of orgy guys. Maybe Monegro can put it together under the new pitching system?
For all the reasons posted above, I initially questioned the rush and cost of the extension of Rafaela.
I like him as a player, but accept his warts. He’s not going to figure out the plate discipline IMO.
They would have been better off keeping Sale, expecting a partial season and signing Lorenzen and expecting him to pitch about 120 innings. Vaughn Grissom not being the starting 2B going forward is a real kick in the nuts for this deal.
What's the point in being that far under the budget? It doesn't make sense to me if they are trying to sell us on next year. If they went 20M under and signed a few one year deals, it'd make more sense.
