It was not a wrong move to let Kimbrel close out that game, it was his job to do that. Sucks for Sale pitch yet another gem and has nothing to show for it.
They gave Chapman $86M, Holliday $13M, and Carter $3M. That's spending. Whether it is the most or not is not important, the back to spending ways as you allude to is already happening.
Our #4 was an allstar last year. While our CY winner wasn't. How crazy is that. If Pomegranate can be half decent and E-rod pitches like he did in the 2nd half we're good. Every team has SP depth issues and we're seeing the media portrayal of the sky is falling is ridiculous at this point.
Swihart has an option while neither two of the catchers do, it's AAA time even if he emerges from this issue of yips or yaps whatever you call it by the time spring is over.
Kimmi many teams can't name a starter beside their first. We got 3 SP who pitch 200 inning last season and I believe there was only 15 in all of MLB. We're quite fortified there.
What concern is the lack of IF corners for me. Pablo and Moreland? Yuck.
